• Heat grill (or grill pan) to high heat.
• Brush the cantaloupe slices with olive oil and sprinkle the tajin seasoning on top.

GRILLED RADICCHIO AND CANTALOUPE SALAD

Steps:

• For the Lemon-Lime Dressing: Add the yogurt, lemon and lime zest and juice and the honey to a small bowl. Whisk together well and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve in the fridge if not using right away.
• For the Salad: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium. Place the cantaloupe and radicchio on baking sheets and brush with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the cantaloupe and radicchio on the grill (you may have to do this in batches) and grill the cantaloupe until you see grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes a side. Grill the radicchio until soft and browned on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut the cantaloupe into cubes.
• Arrange a bed of baby arugula on a platter, top with the grilled cantaloupe and radicchio and drizzle with the dressing.

GRILLED CANTALOUPE FROZEN YOGURT POPS

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to high until it is smoking. Clean and oil the grill grates or grill pan.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the honey and lemon juice until combined.
• Cut each cantaloupe half into 1 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Working in batches, grill a few wedges at a time until well charred on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and immediately brush each wedge with the honey mixture. Continue grilling and brushing until all the cantaloupe is prepared.
• Transfer the cantaloupe to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the yogurt and almond extract, if using, and blend until smooth.
• Transfer the mixture to a large vessel with a pour spout (if using the blender, you can usually pour straight from there). Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, press wooden ice pop sticks into the center of each mold and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Run the mold under warm water to slip the pops out. Keep frozen until ready to serve.
