Nutritional values

Melons and blueberries both contain plenty of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. The pistachios and yogurt also add healthy fats and protein, making this salad more filling. 

You can vary the fruits in this recipe and the nuts. Instead of a canteloupe, you could use a watermelon, instead of blueberries, you could use strawberries, and instead of pistachios, you could use almonds or cashews.
