Ingredients
Watermelon Fries
- 1 medium whole seedless watermelon
Dip
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (homemade or store bought)
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Place a cutting board inside a sheet pan to catch watermelon juices, keeping your countertop clean and preventing slips.
- Slice the watermelon: Using a sharp chef’s knife, carefully slice the watermelon in half width-wise to create two round halves.
- Cut into half-moon slices: Lay one half cut side down on the cutting board and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices across to form half-moon shapes.
- Shape the fries: Lay each half-moon slice flat and use a crinkle cutter to cut into 1/4-inch wide “fries.” Trim off the rind from the ends and sides for a clean presentation.
- Chill the watermelon (optional): For a cooler, more refreshing snack, chill the cut watermelon fries in the refrigerator, or chill the whole watermelon before slicing.
- Make the dip: Gently fold the vanilla Greek yogurt into the whipped topping to create a creamy, smooth dip.
- Serve: Arrange the watermelon fries on a platter and serve with a bowl of the whipped cream yogurt dip. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Notes
- Using a sharp knife and a stable cutting board helps with safety and clean cuts.
- Chilling the watermelon enhances its refreshing quality but is optional if you prefer room temperature.
- The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Keep the watermelon fries in an airtight container to maintain freshness up to 5 days.
