Ingredients
  

Base and Sauce
  • 1 slice Seedless Watermelon Cut 1 to 1.5 inches thick from the center
  • 0.5 cup Greek Yogurt or Mascarpone Cheese Plain or vanilla flavor
Toppings
  • 0.5 cup Fresh Strawberries Hulled and sliced
  • 0.5 cup Fresh Blueberries Washed and dried
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Mint Leaves Roughly chopped
  • 0.25 cup Feta or Goat Cheese Crumbled (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Or agave nectar for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Glaze Thick reduction for drizzling

Equipment

  • Large Chef's Knife
  • Paper towels
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. Wash the exterior of the watermelon. Using a large chef's knife, cut a thick, even round slice (about 1 to 1.5 inches thick) from the widest center part of the melon.
  2. Using a clean paper towel, gently pat the top surface of the watermelon slice completely dry. This helps the yogurt stick and prevents the toppings from sliding.
  3. Cut the large watermelon round into 6 to 8 equal triangular wedges (like a traditional pizza) but keep them pushed together in a circle on your serving platter.
  4. Dollop the Greek yogurt (or mascarpone) onto the slices and spread it out evenly, leaving a small border around the green rind to act as the pizza 'crust'.
  5. Scatter the sliced strawberries, fresh blueberries, and crumbled feta cheese (if using) evenly over the yogurt layer.
  6. Sprinkle the freshly chopped mint leaves across the top of the fruit.
  7. Right before serving, drizzle the honey and the balsamic glaze back and forth over the entire pizza. Serve immediately while cold.

Notes

Chill the watermelon for at least 6 hours before making this recipe for the best texture and flavor. Do not assemble too far in advance or the watermelon will weep water.
