# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in less time than it takes to wash the fruit, with ingredients you probably already have.
  • The tangy creaminess makes even boring melon taste like something special.
  • You can adjust the sweetness on the fly without ruining anything.
  • It feels indulgent but sneaks in protein and probiotics without trying.
02 -
  • Don't skip the lemon zest, it's what keeps this from tasting like sweetened yogurt and nothing more.
  • If you whisk too gently, the honey will settle at the bottom and someone will get a spoonful of pure sweetness later.
  • Whole milk yogurt makes this taste luxurious, but if you only have nonfat, just add a tiny drizzle of cream.
03 -
  • Taste as you go and adjust the honey or lemon to match your fruit, tart berries need more sweetness while melon can handle extra citrus.
  • Use a microplane for the lemon zest so you get the fragrant oils without any bitter white pith.
  • Serve it in a shallow bowl instead of a deep one, it makes dipping easier and looks more inviting on the table.
