# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- Its like eating dessert but you can feel virtuous about all that fresh fruit
- The combination of cold watermelon with creamy yogurt creates the most refreshing texture contrast
- Looks impressive on a platter but comes together in literally minutes
02 -
- The watermelon needs to be very dry or your yogurt topping will slide right off and nobody wants that mess
- Assemble everything right before serving because the watermelon releases water and makes the yogurt soggy if it sits too long
03 -
- Chill your serving platter first so the watermelon stays cold longer
- Buy a slightly underripe watermelon because it will hold its texture better than an overly soft one
