Recipe: Watermelon Fries with Tangy Citrus Dip

Recipe: Watermelon Fries with Tangy Citrus Dip
August 10, 2020RecipesRecipes: Spring & Summer

Few foods are as quintessential to summer as the rosy, red watermelon. Nutritionally, it’s an all-star selection rich in lycopene for disease prevention. Plus, containing about 92% water, it is sure to help keep you hydrated!

If you’re thinking of serving watermelon at your next summer gathering why not elevate the melon experience with a fun and flavorful dip that is super simple to make? Slicing watermelon into sticks or fries makes dipping a breeze.

This dish works well as a side or dessert and just may help to cool you down in the summer heat!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium, seedless watermelon
  • ½ C plain, Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice (approximately ½ lime)
  • 1/3 C orange juice (approximately 1 orange)
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • ¼ tsp chili powder (Optional)
  • pinch of salt (Optional)
