Here’s a fruit salad for late summer, when the season’s fruits are no longer at their peak of flavor and can use a bit of assistance.

Serves: 6

• 6 to 7 cups fresh summer fruit (choose several among strawberries, cherries, blueberries, melons, peaches, plums, grapes, nectarines, mangoes, etc.), diced
• 1  to 1 1/2 cups vanilla nondairy yogurt (coconut or soy)
• 1/3 cup currants, raisins, dried cranberries, or dried cherries
• 2 tablespoons agave nectar, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh or jarred ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground or grated fresh nutmeg

Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Cover and chill before serving.
