Ingredients
Watermelon Fries
- 1 Half of a Large Watermelon
Vanilla Yogurt Dip
- ½ cup Vanilla Yogurt
- 1 cup Strawberries, stems and leaves removed
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
- Slice the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon in half and slice each half into round discs about ½ inch thick, preparing the base for your fries.
- Cut Semi-Circles: Cut across the middle of each disc to create two semi-circle shaped halves, making it easier to cut fries.
- Cut Watermelon Fries: Using a crinkle cutter, cut from one side of each watermelon semi-circle to the other to form crinkle-cut fries.
- Remove Excess Rind: Trim off any leftover rind from the fries and dispose of or compost it accordingly.
- Prepare the Yogurt Dip: Place the vanilla yogurt, hulled strawberries, and honey into a blender.
- Blend the Dip: Blend on low speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the strawberries are fully incorporated.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the dip and add more honey if necessary to reach your desired sweetness.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the vanilla yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Use a crinkle cutter for a fun texture, or a regular knife if unavailable.
- Serve immediately for the best freshness and crisp texture of the watermelon fries.
- Try experimenting with other berries or adding a mint garnish to the dip for extra flavor.
