Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 4 inch slice of watermelon (seedless)
- 1 cup natural vanilla flavored yogurt (low or no fat)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 tbsp chocolate syrup (optional)
Instructions
- In a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat, toast the almonds while constantly stirring to prevent burning. When they are golden, remove them to a heatproof tray or foil to cool.
- Cut the watermelon slice into 6 to 8 pie-shaped wedges.
- Dip the back (curved) side of each slice in the yogurt and then the almonds, re-assembling the pieces on a serving platter as you complete each piece.
- When finished, it will look like a pie crust of almonds around the watermelon slices.
- Frost the top of the reassembled watermelon with the remaining yogurt and decorate the top with the berries.
- Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top. Serve cold.
