"For a dairy-free version substitute yellow watermelon, cantaloupe, yellow or orange bell pepper, orange slices, etc. Recipe can be easily doubled or tripled. From craftymoods.com. Photo by Cookgirl and art direction by --Tasty Dish--. Bing cherries, raisins, currants, dried dates/figs, etc. can replace the grapes as a suggestion."
