I tend to make this recipe more in the spring and summer, but if you're a fruit-lover, it's a great way to enjoy fruit all year long! This Fruit-Filled Cantaloupe is made with cantaloupe halves, lined with green leaf lettuce, and filled with cantaloupe balls (scooped from the center of the melon), strawberries, and blueberries.
You can add or substitute other fruit you like, such as pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, banana slices, and/or sliced kiwifruit. It's really easy to make this recipe "your own."
These are such a delicious way to enjoy fruit...and so pretty and colorful too!
