Ingredients
- 1 medium watermelon
- 1 5.3 ounce container of low fat vanilla yogurt (or your favorite non-dairy alternative
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt (preservative free)
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (or a dash of cayenne pepper) - if you like it hotter
Preparation
- Wash and dry watermelon before cutting in half through the middle (not stem to stem). Place one of the melon halves cut side down and slice into 1-inch wide slices, leaving them all standing side by side. Rotate the melon 90 degrees to make 1-inch slices the other way. Repeat with the other half. Pull apart the sticks and chill until ready to eat.
- In a small bowl, stir together the vanilla yogurt and cinnamon. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Wash a lime and remove the zest (just the green outer peel - not the white pith) with a grater over a plate or piece of parchment (or wax) paper. Set aside and allow to dry for a few hours or overnight. In a small bowl, combine the dried lime zest with the salt and chili powders. Set aside until ready to serve or store in a covered container.
- To serve, place the watermelon sticks on a platter, the sweet yogurt dip in one bowl and the spicy dip in another bowl. Enjoy!
