Ingredients

1 cup vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt or dairy-free options work too)
1 cup strawberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
2 tablespoons honey (maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

Instructions

Step 1: Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise. Slice each half into 1/2-inch thick round discs.
Step 2: Use a crinkle cutter to cut each round into crinkle-shaped fries, aiming for about 16 fries per half to show off the red flesh.
Step 3: In a blender, combine vanilla yogurt, strawberries, and honey. Blend starting on low speed and gradually increase to high until smooth and creamy. Taste and add more honey if desired.
Step 4: Arrange the watermelon fries on a large platter. Serve with the strawberry yogurt dip in a small bowl on the side.
Step 5: Let the fries sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
