Yogurt and Poppy Seed Sorbet with Cantaloupe Soup and Mint Pesto
The semi-sweet and refreshing flavors of yogurt, cantaloupe, and mint combine to form this chilled summertime dessert. In the bowl is a cube of yogurt and poppyseed sorbet with just a hint of lemon zest. Below the sorbet is a mint and almond pesto. From a very ripe cantaloupe I made a chilled melon soup that is poured over the sorbet and mint pesto table side. The pesto made vibrant streaks across the melon soup which I think looks pretty cool. Take one spoonful and the creamy melon soup gives way to bright mint and the tart chill of yogurt sorbet.
The good news is that this healthy and refreshing dessert is very easy to make. The even better news is that the recipe is for Garrett’s Table newsletter subscribers only!

Garrett and Justin, that first photograph is so beautiful! It reminds me of the enamel designs I used to do in metalsmithing class with glass powders.
This is much tastier. Nice work!
