Fruit and Cheese Antipasto! A great light meal!

Who doesn't love fresh fruit?  I'm thinking of summer and wanted to share a great appetizer or light meal using fresh fruit. I used my own creation of a healthy orange/lemon drizzle to top it which worked out wonderful..The red onion compliments the fruit.. Healthy for sure!   Enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We sure did!  Served with crackers or a light crispy toasted bread!

Happy Baking and Cooking from my kitchen to yours,
