Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 large seedless watermelon
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, stems and leaves removed
- 1 tablespoon honey, plus more to taste
Instructions
- Chill the watermelon before cutting for a firmer texture.
- Cut the watermelon in half and place one half cut-side down on a stable cutting board.
- Slice the watermelon into round discs about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut each disc across the center to form two semicircles.
- Use a crinkle cutter to cut the pink flesh into fry-shaped sticks about 1/2 inch wide.
- Trim away any remaining rind and arrange the watermelon fries on a chilled platter.
- Add the vanilla yogurt, strawberries, and honey to a blender.
- Blend on low until the dip looks smooth and evenly combined.
- Taste the dip with a watermelon fry and add more honey when needed.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve cold beside the watermelon fries.
Notes
- Use a ripe, seedless watermelon with firm flesh for clean cuts.
- Pat washed strawberries dry before blending so the dip stays thick.
- Store the watermelon fries and yogurt dip in separate airtight containers.
- Refrigerate watermelon fries for up to 2 days and the dip for up to 3 days.
