Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cantaloupe, cubed
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the cantaloupe thoroughly under cool running water to remove any surface dirt or potential contaminants.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the cantaloupe in half. Remove the seeds from the center using a spoon.
- Slice the cantaloupe into manageable sections and then cut into uniform, bite-sized cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size.
- Take a medium-sized serving bowl and add the Greek yogurt as the base layer, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Arrange the freshly cut cantaloupe cubes on top of the yogurt, distributing them uniformly across the surface.
- Toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This will enhance their nutty flavor and provide a slight crunch.
- Sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the cantaloupe and yogurt.
- If desired, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp texture of the cantaloupe and the cool creaminess of the yogurt.
Tips
- Choose a ripe cantaloupe by checking for a sweet, fragrant aroma and a slight give when pressed at the stem end.
- For the best flavor, toast walnuts just before serving to maximize their nutty essence and maintain their crisp texture.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer, creamier base that complements the cantaloupe's sweetness.
- If you want to elevate the presentation, try cutting cantaloupe into decorative shapes or using a melon baller.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt, and use maple syrup as your sweetener.
- Chill your serving bowls beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.
