Ingredients
  

1 medium-sized seedless watermelon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for a kick)

1 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon in half widthwise. Scoop out the flesh using a melon baller or knife, making sure to leave the rind intact. Cut the watermelon flesh into thick rectangular fries.

    Flavor the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the watermelon fries with lemon juice, sea salt, and paprika (if using). Allow the fries to marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

      Make the Sweet Fruit Dip: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a sweeter or fruitier dip, you can blend in some fresh fruit or additional honey.

        Serve: Arrange the watermelon fries on a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining lemon juice and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for enhancement. Serve alongside the sweet fruit dip in a small bowl.

          Garnish: Add mixed berries and fresh mint leaves on top of the fries and around the dip for a colorful presentation.
