FRUIT WITH HONEY AND MINT FLAVORED GREEK YOGHURT

Here's something very simple, quick and really delicious to make: fruit with Greek yoghurt, mint and honey.  

I used honeydew, peaches and strawberries.

I love this way of serving fruit. On warm summer evenings, it makes a very nice late supper. The mint and fruit cool down the palette, and the honey sweetens it up. 

This was something my father often requested as his night-time snack.  Eating it reminded him of his boyhood in Greece when his mother offered similar fare for supper. Dad always finished off his meal with a cup of tea. It didn't matter how hot it was outside; his habit was to eat the cold fruit and yoghurt and then sip a warm cup of tea flavoured with lemon and honey.  During all of his 87 years, he definitely had a sweet tooth. 

Lemon, honey, yoghurt, mint and sweet summer fruit: some of the flavourful gifts the Mediterranean soil offers for our enjoyment.  The earth gives but it also takes. Father died a while ago, a sudden passing. May he rest in peace. Εἰρήνη πᾶσι. Peace be with all.

Ingredients:

• nice summer fruit such as cantaloupe, honeydew, peaches, mango, strawberries or blackberries.
• 2 cups Greek yoghurt 
• 1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped. Leave some whole for decoration 
• 2 or 3 tablespoons of honey
• optional: some chopped walnuts or sliced almonds 

Directions:

Clean and cut up the fruit into serving pieces. Arrange it on a platter.
Place the yoghurt in a serving bowl, drizzle honey over it and sprinkle the mint on top. Also, offer some nuts on the side: Chopped walnuts and sliced almonds would be nice. 
Bring the yoghurt, the nuts if using, and the fruit to the table and serve it to your friends and family.

P.S. Instead of honey, maple syrup can be used.
