Course Dessert

½ cup pistachio nuts (toasted and coarsely chopped. Note: to be used as Garnish.)
2 peaches (ripe)
1 large lemon (juiced)
4 cups seedless watermelon (cubed)

2 Tbsp. honey
½ tsp. cinnamon
2 cups plain yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla extract (Note: If using vanilla-flavored yogurt, omit the vanilla extract.)

In a non-stick skillet, over medium heat, add the pistachios. Stir until they are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove the nuts from the pan to a heat-proof plate to cool. Coarsely chop nuts and set aside. This will be used as the garnish.
Thinly slice the peaches without removing the skin. Discard the pit. Place peach slices in a large mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice.
Add the watermelon cubes to the bowl with the peaches and gently toss together.
In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, cinnamon, yogurt and vanilla.
Evenly distribute the fruit mixture into individualserving bowls. Spoon some yogurt topping over each serving.
Garnish with chopped pistachios. Serve immediately.
