Who doesn’t like a refreshing salad in a hot summer day?
This Cantaloupe and Blueberry salad is a really simple and quick dessert I tried with some yogurt and honey over it. Specially during a hot summer day, having a healthy snack with some fruits is a perfect idea and melons come to my mind first. I have tried many recipes with different melon types and this is one of the easiest and quickest desserts I have ever tried!
I used a melon baller to scoop cantaloupe, but it is not necessary. Instead use a fruit knife and cut cantaloupe into small bite size cubes of similar size. Taste of blueberries was really good with cantaloupe balls and yogurt added some rich smooth flavor to it. I used natural low fat yogurt to keep it healthier.
Over the fruits, I added some fresh lime juice. Lime juice gave a good flavor to this salad. Once honey is drizzled over, it looked perfect and delicious. I couldn’t wait until I finish the whole bowl.
Below is the simple and quick recipe for Cantaloupe and Blueberry Salad. Try this when you are in need for a snack or a dessert in a hot summer day!
Ingredients (Serves 2):
- ½ of a Cantaloupe
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Natural yogurt
- Honey to drizzle
- 1 tsp. Lime juice
Method:
First scoop melon with a melon baller (or cut into cubes)
In a bowl, mix cantaloupe balls together with blueberries and lime juice.
Add natural yogurt over it.
Drizzle over some honey as per taste.
Cantaloupe and blueberry dessert is ready to serve.
Mix other fruits together with cantaloupe balls for different tastes.
Enjoy!

Oh this sounds lovely. Not usually a cantaloupe fan but with the blueberries it would be lovely.

This looks lovely! I don’t think I have ever tried Cantaloupe – I always buy honeydew or watermelon! Must try it x
I guess watermelon or honeydew will match too…Thanks for the comment
This sure sounds delicious. I love blueberries. Don’t think I’ve ever had real cantaloupe.
That sounds delicious and so easy. I love Sri Lankan food (we got married there) so I am off to check Amila’s blog out too. 🙂

We love melon here but rarely add it to anything as we’re mainly juicing at the moment.I think the kids would like this as an afternoon treat after school.
This sounds really refreshing and looks very yummy – perfect for a hot, summers day.
im just starting to enjoy fruit again after being allergic to fresh fruit for over 15 years, for some reason i can eat it again, maybe as ive grown older the allergy has dissapeared but im loving melon and berries x
I love fruit salads – this looks delicious
It is funky looking thing I must admit 🙂
This looks perfect for this time of year!
that looks so good! i’ve been craving fruit this pregnancy {as in the past three!}
Better fruit than sweets Polly.
Take care of yourself and eat a lot fresh fruits 🙂
Actually I had this during my pregnancy (last trimester) as cantaloupe is a good source of vitamin k which helps blood to clot.
Oh yum this just sounds so delicious – I do love a nice bowl of fruit in the summer. x
Beautiful! I love that you used a melon baller for the cantaloupe. Exactly what I like to eat for dinner.
