Benedict Watermelon

Don't be fooled by the name. Benedict Watermelon is a refreshing watermelon and yogurt salad combo that looks like a classic Eggs Benedict. Maybe serve it on the side for an eye-catching fruit salad to go with any of your breakfast favorites.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups low-fat granola
• 1/3 cup honey, at room temperature
• 4 (3-inch round and 3/4-inch thick) circles of seedless watermelon
• 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices of peeled kiwi fruit
• 1 cup low- or non-fat creamy lemon yogurt
• 2 purple grapes, sliced in half and seeded, for garnish

Instructions

1. Mix granola with honey by drizzling honey evenly over granola as you stir.
    
2. On a serving plate, make 3-inch circles of granola in even thickness, dividing the granola/honey mixture evenly among the servings. Top each granola circle with a watermelon slice and place a slice of kiwi on each watermelon circle. Spoon yogurt over kiwi and watermelon as though it were hollandaise sauce on Eggs Benedict. Top each Watermelon Benedict with a grape half, skin-side up as a garnish reminiscent of the olive slice traditionally found on Eggs Benedict.
