1 1/2 cups cantaloupes*
1 peach, diced
1 cup pineapple chunks

1 cup strawberries
1 1/2 cups watermelons
3 cups cottage cheese

*Melons, squash, and cucumbers -- all of which ripen while lying on the ground – can be exposed to salmonella and e. coli bacteria. As a precaution, they should be washed with soap and hot water, then rinsed before proceeding with any recipe. This applies even if you are only using the flesh of the melon (or squash or cucumber); the mere act of cutting through the rind is enough to bring harmful bacteria in contact with the flesh.
