How to Make Watermelon Pizza with Fruit and Yogurt

Lay the watermelon on its side and, using a large sharp knife, cut a single round slice about 1 inch thick from the center. Pat the surface dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Spread the Yogurt
Place the watermelon slice on a large cutting board or serving platter. Evenly spread the Greek yogurt over the top surface, leaving a small border for that classic 'pizza crust' look.
Step 3: Add Fruit Toppings
Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mandarin orange segments over the yogurt, distributing them evenly for a colorful, appetizing effect. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and chopped mint if desired.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Drizzle honey over the fruit for extra sweetness, if using. Using a large sharp knife, carefully cut the 'pizza' into 6-8 wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
