From the National Watermelon Promotion Board. (They sound like a wild bunch!) I made a few changes in the recipe as indicated. Tasty Dish approved! Update: I've prepared this several times since posting, and the dip is delicious, too with cantaloupe and honeydew melon, tropical fruits such as papaya and mango. Finally, friendly reminder from the Cookgirl Institute: DO NOT serve honey to children under 2 years of age. -fyi- ;) Ingredients:
1 cup plain yogurt, drained |
1/2 tablespoon honey (warm the honey slightly to make it easier to stir) or 1/2 tablespoon agave nectar |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (not imitation) |
4 cups watermelon |
fresh mint leaves (optional) |
Directions:
1. *Note: The original recipe called for fruit flavored yogurt and one teaspoon sugar. Also, I used flavored blackberry honey from a local source. But agave nectar is very good in this dip as well.
2. Combine the yogurt, honey and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir well. Taste and adjust if necessary.
3. Cover yogurt dip and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Cut up the watermelon either in 3-inch by 3/4-inch sticks or small wedges.
5. Arrange the fruit on a platter along with the bowl of yogurt dip. (Sometimes I garnish the top of the dip with fresh mint.).
6. Note: watermelon amount is estimated.
