This is how Heather Wish Staller (@happykidskitchen) reflects it in a video that generated obsession on the net, for her fun and adorable way to serve fresh watermelon chunks. The trick?

🍉Watermelon “Fries” with Easy Strawberry Yogurt Dip: So fun and refreshing! Blend plain or vanilla Greek yogurt with 3 to 4 strawberries (and optional honey or other sweetener to taste) then serve with sticks of watermelon. I used a crinkle cutter which you can buy on Amazon or any kitchen store. Make sure to refrigerate and serve chilled! Happy summer!! #momsoftiktok #watermelon #funfood #healthykidsfood

The zigzag-shaped serrated knife becomes the utensil with which to make these longitudinal and transversal cuts with which to sculpt the watermelon. Then, a series of condiments and accompaniments are added to these “healthy version fries” to intensify the flavor of the summer fruit: natural Greek yogurt, a handful of strawberries and a touch of honey, creating an aesthetic, rich and healthy composition.
