RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Watermelon Fries

• 1 medium whole watermelon
• Chopped mint
• Lime zest (optional)

» For the Strawberry Dip

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries

» Materials Needed:

• 1 medium whole watermelon
• Crinkle cutter (or wavy knife)

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Cut Watermelon into Crinkle Fries

1. Rinse the watermelon to remove any dirt. Place the watermelon on a cutting board. Using a sharp chef's knife, slice the watermelon in half width-wise. Place one of the halves cut side down on the cutting board. Slice it into 1/4 inch thick pieces, to make half-moon shapes.
2. Lay each half moon flat and slice off the rind to create rectangles. Use a crinkle cutter or wavy knife to create crinkle fry-shaped sticks. If you don't have a crinkle cutter, you can cut them into regular fries. Keep slicing until all the watermelon halves are used up. Then chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

» Make the Strawberry Dip

1. In a blender or food processor, add the chilled Greek yogurt, strawberries, vanilla extract, and honey. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water and blend again until it reaches the desired consistency.

» Serving:

1. Transfer the strawberry dip to a serving bowl. Arrange the crinkle-cut watermelon fries on a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped mint over the fries for a fresh, aromatic touch. Optionally, add a sprinkle of lime zest for an extra zesty flavor boost. Your delicious watermelon fries are ready. Enjoy this refreshing and healthy treat as a snack or dessert with the strawberry dip on the side.

RECIPE NOTES

1. For extra sweetness, you can drizzle a bit more honey over the watermelon fries.
2. Use a sharp knife to cut the watermelon. For a fun shape, use a crinkle cutter.
