Description

A refreshing and fun summer snack, Watermelon Fries are made by cutting seedless watermelon into fry-shaped slices and serving them with a creamy vanilla Greek yogurt and whipped topping dip. This simple no-cook recipe is perfect for hot days and kids’ parties, offering a sweet and healthy treat with minimal prep time.


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

  1. Prepare the workspace: Place a cutting board inside a sheet pan to catch any watermelon juices during slicing, helping keep your kitchen clean and making cleanup easier.
  2. Slice the watermelon: Using a sharp chef's knife, carefully slice the watermelon in half width-wise. This gives you two large halves to work with.
  3. Cut into half moons: Lay one half cut side down on the cutting board and slice it into 1/4 inch thick slices across the width. These slices will resemble half moons in shape.
  4. Cut into fries: Lay each half moon slice flat and use a crinkle cutter to cut them into 1/4-inch wide 'fries'. Trim off the rind from the ends and sides for a clean fry shape. For best results, chill the watermelon before or after cutting.
  5. Make the dip: Gently fold the vanilla Greek yogurt into the whipped topping until well combined, creating a light and creamy dip.
  6. Serve: Arrange the watermelon fries on a serving platter alongside a bowl of the yogurt whipped topping dip. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Notes

  • Using a seedless watermelon simplifies cutting and eating.
  • Chilling the watermelon before slicing makes handling easier and keeps the fries crisp.
  • The whipped topping can be store-bought or homemade depending on preference.
  • Trim the rind thoroughly to ensure the fries are easy to eat like finger food.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
