Instructions: Toss together the cabbage, lettuce, and poppy seeds. In a 2 1/2 or 3-quart clear glass bowl (a straight-sided bowl shows the salad off best) or souffle dish place about 1/3 of the cabbage mixture. Top with a layer of pineapple. Sprinkle grapes evenly over pineapple. Top with another 1/3 of the cabbage mixture. Layer melon balls over second cabbage layer. Top with remaining cabbage mixture.

Stir together lemon yogurt, mayonnaise or salad dressing, and ground nutmeg. Spread the lemony dressing over top layer all the way to the sides of the bowl to keep the green crisp. Cover cabbage all the way to edge of bowl. Cover and chill up to 24 hours. Sprinkle with shredded orange peel; top with pecan halves. Before serving, toss gently.

NOTES : Here is another one of Merry Marys recipes. I dont really like cabbage or cantaloupe, so I cant personally attest to this, but hubby loved it and it is beautiful in the bowl. Lowfat to boot!
