Ingredients

  • 2 cups (cubed) Watermelon
  • 2 cups (cubed) Pineapple
  • 2 cups (cubed) Mango
  • 1 cup (sliced and quartered) Cucumber
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Tajín (chili-lime seasoning)
  • 10 leaves (chopped) Mint leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Honey
  • 1 cup Pomegranate seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, and half of the chopped mint leaves. Stir well to create the creamy dressing and set it aside.

Step 2

Prepare the fruits: cut the watermelon, pineapple, and mango into small cubes. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, then quarter each slice for bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large serving dish (or individual cups for a layered presentation), spread an even layer of watermelon cubes at the bottom.

Step 4

Add a layer of pineapple cubes on top of the watermelon, followed by a layer of mango cubes.

Step 5

Next, add a layer of quartered cucumber pieces. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the yogurt dressing over this layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle a small amount of Tajín over the yogurt layer for a zesty kick.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process until all the ingredients are used up, reserving some yogurt dressing for the top.

Step 8

Finish with a drizzle of the remaining yogurt dressing, a sprinkling of Tajín, and the pomegranate seeds on top for garnish.

Step 9

Scatter the remaining chopped mint leaves over the top for extra freshness, and serve immediately.
