In Greek: μανούρι με φρούτα, pronounced mah-NOO-ree meh FROO-tah

This light dessert can be served immediately following a meal or an hour later, with equal success. If manouri cheese is not available, substitute with a Greek strained yogurt (or make your own strained yogurt from commercial brands).
