MELON-BERRY SALAD



Melon-Berry Salad image

The best way to cool down on a warm day is with a chilled fruit salad. Serve this one for breakfast, brunch or dessert. Yogurt and coconut milk make the creamy dressing even more decadent. Wait until just before serving to garnish the salad. Otherwise the toasted coconut will get soggy. -Carrie Hirsch, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
