Our Favourite Watermelon Pizza Toppings
Watermelon Pizza
- Ingredients:
- Watermelon (seedless is best)
- sliced fruit of your choosing
- Your favourite berries
- Organic Greek or Balkan style vanilla yogurt (thicker than regular yogurt)
- lime zest
- Instructions:
- Start by chilling your watermelon in the fridge until it is nice and cold.
- Slice the watermelon into 1 -1 1/2 inches thick full circles right through the middle. You can get many slices out of a watermelon. Use a larger melon for big sharing “pizzas” or the mini watermelon for personal size.
- Arrange the slice on a cutting board and spread a thick layer of yogurt to the edge of the watermelon slice to create the “sauce”.
- Decorate with any fruit you like.
- Sprinkle with lemon zest for a finishing touch
- Slice into wedges and serve right away.
