Ingredients
Scale
Watermelon:
- 0.5 large watermelon
Fruits:
- 1 cup strawberries
Dip and Sweetener:
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 12 tablespoons (180 milliliters) honey
Instructions
- Halve the watermelon and slice into round discs approximately 1/2 inch thick, then cut across to create semi-circle shapes.
- Using a crinkle cutter, transform the semi-circles into fry-like strips, carefully trimming away the rind and ensuring uniform shapes.
- Prepare the accompanying dip by combining vanilla yogurt, strawberries, and honey in a food processor, blending until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Artfully arrange the watermelon fries on a serving platter, accompanied by the vibrant fruit dip for an interactive and refreshing culinary experience.
Notes
- Chill watermelon before cutting to get crisp, clean slices that hold their shape perfectly.
- Use a sharp knife or crinkle cutter for uniform fry-like pieces that look professional and appetizing.
- Experiment with different dips like chocolate sauce, Greek yogurt mix, or mint-infused cream for variety.
- Pat watermelon pieces dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture and ensure a firm, french fry-like texture.
