Ingredients

Scale

1 medium cantaloupe
1 pint red grapes
8 oz raspberries
2 medium oranges
3/4 cup plain unsalted yogurt

Instructions

Wash and trim all fruits; blot with paper towels to dry.
Chop cantaloupe into 2-inch cubes.
Halve grapes lengthwise and gently tear raspberries to release juice.
Grate orange zest using a microplane into a bowl.
Squeeze juice from 1½ oranges into the bowl; discard seeds.
Whisk in yogurt until smooth and glossy.

Pour dressing over fruits and toss gently with a spatula.
