Method
 

Instructions for Healthy Watermelon Fries
  1. Start by selecting a fresh, ripe watermelon for your Healthy Watermelon Fries. Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 1/2 inch thick round discs. Use a crinkle cutter to turn each disc into playful crinkle-shaped fries. Aim for about 16 fries per half, making sure to showcase the beautiful red flesh as you cut!
  2. In a high-powered blender, combine 1 cup of vanilla yogurt, 1 cup of fresh strawberries (or thawed frozen), and 2 tablespoons of honey. Blend on low for 30 seconds, then gradually increase to high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Give it a quick taste and add more honey if you'd like it sweeter! The vibrant pink dip will beautifully complement your Healthy Watermelon Fries.
  3. Arrange the watermelon fries artfully on a large platter to showcase their bright color and texture. Serve the creamy strawberry yogurt dip in a small bowl alongside the fries for dipping. For the best flavor and texture, let the fries sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.
