Answer 2

The nice things about salads are that you don't need to be exact in your measuring. I always love melon in my fruit salad. So you could try something like:

Watermelon (seedless) cubed
Honey Due cubed
Cantaloupe cubed
Strawberries
Blueberries
Bananas
Your other favorite fruit.

Then you could serve them with a sauce consisting of vanilla yogurt (8oz), honey (2 tbsp) and cinnamon (to taste ~1 tsp) that has been warmed in the microwave (~20 seconds).
