RECIPE: WATERMELON KIWI PIZZA
The second watermelon pizza couldn’t be easier. If you like, you can add on additional fruits—whatever you have on hand, from stone fruit slices (peaches, nectarines, plums, etc.) to orange segments.
Without the chocolate chips, coconut, raisins and walnuts, it qualifies as a “diet dessert.”
Ingredients For 6 Servings
1 watermelon round, from a watermelon 8 to 10 inches in diameter, sliced 1 inch thick
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
Optional: other sliced fruits, as desired
Optional garnish: shredded coconut “cheese”
