Serve this simple tropical fruit salad as-is or over yogurt! It’s made with equal parts watermelon, cantaloupe (or honeydew), and pineapple, with a splash of lime. The trick is to dice your fruit into very small pieces. Recipe yields about 12 servings (12 cups); it’s easily doubled.

Ingredients
- 1/2 medium cantaloupe or honeydew melon, diced into 1/4″ cubes (about 4 cups)
