Here quantities are not so important as arrangement - and of course, the

fruit should be ripe and luscious. Since these are individually composed

plates rather than one big fruit salad, each plate should be attractively

arranged and filled without being overloaded.

 

In a small mixing bowl, combine the sliced bananas with the berries. Add

just enough of the Tropical Yogurt to lightly coat the fruit and stir

together. Reserve the remaining Tropical Yogurt. Place a small amount of

the banana and berry mixture on the side of each guest's plate.

 

Arrange a few overlapping slices of cantaloupe and honeydew on each

plate. Arrange a few slices of papaya or mango along the side of each

plate, and next to that, a few pineapple chunks. Leave an opening in the

center of each plate, and spoon into that some of the Tropical

Yogurt. Sprinkle the yogurt with some sliced almonds, and garnish each

plate with the optional mint leaves.
