Carbs are getting a bad reputation, but I still make sure my family gets enough fruit and vegetables in their diet. This is a great substitute for a piece of cake, cookies or muffins and a lot healthier too. Feel free to mix and match fruits on this platter. The cool cream cheese and yogurt based dip goes well with just about any fruit.

1 ripe golden pineapple
1 medium cantaloupe
1 small watermelon

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, colorful, and blemish-free fruits. This ensures they are sweet and juicy.
