SUMMER SWEETS

Organic Watermelon Dippers

Watermelons are a classic summer favorite. Sweet and refreshing, they perk up picnics and bring the cool to any cookout.

While some people like to thump a watermelon and listen for a certain sound, here’s the best way to choose the perfect fruit:
  • Look for a round, oval or oblong-shaped watermelon that feels heavy for its size; this indicates it’s juicy and fresh.
  • Inspect the watermelon’s exterior. Look for a firm, symmetrical watermelon that’s free of bruises, cuts or dents.
  • Turn it over. The underside of a watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun.
Don’t forget to wash all fruits and vegetables, including watermelon, in fresh running water. Dry with a clean paper towel before slicing and serving.
Organic Watermelon Dippers


8 ounces low-fat sour cream
Your favorite natural sweetener (equivalent to 4 tablespoons sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh watermelon, cut into sticks or small wedges
  1. Blend together the sour cream, sweetener and vanilla in a small serving bowl.
  2. Serve as a dip for the watermelon.


Enjoy Susan
