Two watermelon sticks dipped in Greek yogurt creamy watermelon dip.

Easy Creamy Watermelon Dip

Yield: 4 to 6 servings (about 1 1/4 cups dip)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

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.
