Easy Creamy Watermelon Dip
Ingredients
- 2 5- to 6-ounce containers coconut, lime or vanilla flavored Greek yogurt
- 2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice (see note)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest (from about 1 medium lime)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar, palm sugar, or coconut sugar (see note)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Watermelon, cut into pieces or sticks (see visual in post for how to cut into sticks) - see note
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, brown sugar, and vanilla.
- Add additional lime juice, lime zest, or brown sugar to taste, if needed.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve (up to a week).
- Serve the chilled dip with watermelon (it is delicious on any variety of melon: honeydew, cantaloupe, etc).
Notes
Yogurt: it's important to use thick, Greek yogurt or the dip will be too runny.
Lime Juice: you can add more lime juice, to taste - just keep in mind that the more juice you add, the thinner the dip will be.
Sugar: the exact amount of sugar will depend on the sweetness of the yogurt you use. You can omit the sugar entirely if the yogurt is already sweet enough - I like adding just a touch of brown sugar for depth of flavor.
