Growing up in Venice, I was always fascinated with glass mosaic – an ancient art that can create, through the careful rhythm of colored enamels and gold leaf, a magical world where time seems to stand still.
Why not experiment with summer fruit? Your kids will love this project!
Ingredients
- watermelon
- cantaloupe
- white melon
- mango or pineapple
- kiwi
- 3 small containers or 1 large container plain yogurt
- brown sugar and honey to taste
- mint, lemongrass or lavender, lemon and lime juice
- 1/2 container blueberries
- cocoa and cinnamon to taste
Directions
Dice the different types of fruit into pieces, all the same size. If using white fruit, drizzle with lemon to prevent it from darkening.
Make layers of fruit cubes on a serving platter, alternating the different colors, and even creating patterns if you feel particularly artistic.
Decorate with fresh mint.
Serve with at least 3 different yogurt sauces made by blending yogurt with any of the following:
1) blueberries and sugar; 2) honey and fresh mint; 3) lemon or lime, brown sugar and lemongrass or lavender; 4) cocoa powder, cinnamon and sugar....

it’s a work of art!
This is gorgeous! I can’t wait to make it now that watermelon and cantelope is in season here in Israel!
What a fabulous idea! So much chicer than a fruit salad, and guilt-free.
