Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 round watermelon slice, 1-inch thick (directions below)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons toasted pecans, roughly chopped*
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons toasted shredded or flaked coconut*
  • 2 tbsps low-fat vanilla yogurt
  • ¼ cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh blueberries
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons mini semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon torn fresh mint or basil leaves, optional
Ingredient Details to Know
*If starting with raw pecans and coconut you can easily toast them on a baking sheet in an oven set at 350˚. The pecans need about 10 minutes and the coconut needs only 5 minutes. Set aside to cool for assembly.

Instructions
 

  • To prepare the watermelon round, carefully lay a watermelon on its side and cut off about an inch from each of the ends so the flesh of the watermelon is exposed. Then carefully cut 1-inch thick round slices along the length of the melon. Quarter each of the large rounds and assemble as circular “pizza pies” on plates.
  • To assemble the watermelon “pizza pies”: spread yogurt on top of the watermelon and sprinkle on fruit, nuts, chocolate chips and basil or mint. Serve immediately.
