I made a minor modification by choping the cantaloupe and tossing all the ingredients together. It was very good, although I kept feeling like maybe there were too many competing tastes (I used strawberry flavored yogurt). Maybe next time a lemon or plain yogurt would be good, and I would omit the raisins. My guests really enjoyed it, thank you!
