Decorate with strawberries and blueberries for the Fourth of July or Memorial Day.

Let Everyone Decorate Their Own
Slice the watermelon into wedges and set out bowls of yogurt and fruit so everyone can create their own “pizza.”
Can You Make It Ahead?
You can prepare the fruit a few hours ahead, but assemble the watermelon pizza shortly before serving for the best texture.
Leftover slices can be refrigerated for a day, although the yogurt may become a little softer. If you have extra watermelon, cube it for fruit salad or smoothies.

Notes
(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 1 PointsPlus (Old plan) Use Light and Fit or your favorite sugar-free, nonfat yogurt for a zero point slice. If you use a container of low-fat yogurt it will still only be a 1-point treat. I like key lime but feel free to use any flavor yogurt. Top with fresh mint to make it extra festive. Use any fresh fruit to top your pizza. If you prefer, slice the watermelon into wedges and let everyone top their slice their way.

FAQs
Can I use another yogurt flavor?
Absolutely. Vanilla, lemon, strawberry, or coconut yogurt all work well.
Can I use other fruit?
Yes. Use whatever berries and seasonal fruit you enjoy. Just avoid overly juicy fruit that may make the yogurt slide off.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes. Simply substitute your favorite dairy-free yogurt.
How thick should the watermelon slice be?
About 2 to 3 inches thick works well. It makes the “pizza” sturdy enough to slice into wedges.
Can I make this ahead?
It’s best assembled shortly before serving, but you can prep all of the ingredients ahead of time.
