Step-by-Step Instructions for Watermelon Fries
  1. Cut the Watermelon: Begin by placing the large, ripe watermelon on a sturdy cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the watermelon in half lengthwise. Then, take each half and cut it into 1/2-inch thick round discs.
  2. Shape the Fries: Next, take each round disc and carefully cut it in half to form semi-circles. Ensure that your cuts are even and clean.
  3. Slice into Fries: Using a crinkle cutter, slice each semi-circle into fries that are about 1/2 inch wide.
  4. Trim the Rind: Once the Watermelon Fries are cut, carefully trim away any excessive rind from the edges.
  5. Optional Toppings: To enhance the flavor of your Watermelon Fries, consider drizzling a touch of honey over them, or sprinkle some lime zest.
  6. Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a bowl, combine vanilla yogurt with diced strawberries, and mix until smooth. For sweetness, drizzle in honey to taste.
  7. Serve with Garnishes: Arrange the Watermelon Fries on a serving platter, and if desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves.
