Cantaloupe and Honeydew Chunks with Blueberries Recipe

Cantaloupe and Honeydew are not the lowest carb fruits by any means BUT they can fit nicely into a Low-Carb lifestyle that is at or near your goal weight. Add blueberries for a great occasional fruit dessert.

My husband is a high school vice principal, which involves attending a lot of evening extracurricular activities. (Tonight he’s at a basketball game.) My son is a 17-year-old high school senior, who works at the Cincinnati Museum Center, is the cochairman of the educational committee of the Cincinnati Herpetological Society, is training for cage fighting at a gym, is currently involved in a school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and is joined at the hip to his lovely girlfriend. My daughter is soon to be 12, and is in middle school.

What do you do when your family is scurrying around like crazed lemmings? It is very hard to plan a dinner around the schedules of these busy, busy people!

This weekend I opted for Turkey In The Slaw, a Bauer Family favorite main dish salad. There’s now several meals ready for anybody who wants one whenever they want one, and my part of the meal preparation is done. (That’s the best part!)

Turkey In The Slaw is not only good for a make-ahead meal, but it’s great to pack in lunches. I serve it more often during the summer when the warm weather makes heavier, hot meals a chore not only to prepare but to eat, but I generally serve it about once a month during the winter, too.

Cantaloupe and Honeydew Chunks with Blueberries

• ½ cantaloupe
  
• ½ honeydew
  
• 1 bag frozen blueberries or 1 pint fresh blueberries
  

Seed the cantaloupe and honeydew, then cut the fruit into chunks. Place the cantaloupe and honeydew chunks in a large bowl along with the blueberries and toss to evenly distribute the different fruits.

Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

***Note: Sliced or quartered strawberries may be substituted for the blueberries.
