Cut into Fries: Now, lay the watermelon on its side. Cut it into slices about 1 inch thick, and then cut those slices into “fries” that are around 1 inch wide.
Make the Dip: In a mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt. Toss in the chopped strawberries, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until it’s well combined and smooth. You can mash the strawberries to create a smoother dip if you prefer.
Serve: Arrange your watermelon fries on a plate and serve the strawberry yogurt dip in a small bowl alongside. Enjoy this vibrant and delicious snack!
Pro Tips

- Chill the Watermelon: For an extra refreshing treat, chill the watermelon fries in the fridge for an hour before serving.
- Blend the Dip: If you want a smoother texture, you can blend the yogurt and strawberries together.
Variations & Substitutions
- Add Other Fruits: Mix in chopped mangos or blueberries in the dip for extra flavor.
- Swap the Yogurt: Use vanilla yogurt instead of plain for added sweetness.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
