Grilled Watermelon Kebabs with Blueberry-Lime Yogurt Sauce

There are some things that are just inherently summer. Grilling. Kids on the block staying out later and causing a ruckus. Block parties. Corn on the cob. Sprinklers. Big wedges of watermelon.

You get the gist.

This past week I got a hankerin’ (yep, that’s right I said hankerin’) for a big, juice-running-down-your-hand, slice of watermelon. Since, as per usual I was alone in my fruit craving and eating, I had to come up with some new ways to go through half a watermelon.

As always, you reap the benefits of my solo eating and recipe testing. Thank my fruit and vegetable hating husband for this gem.

• 2 Tablespoons Nonfat Greek Blueberry Yogurt
• 2 Teaspoons Milk
• 2 Teaspoons Lime Zest
• 2 Teaspoons Powdered Sugar

3. Heat the grill to medium/high heat.
4. Sprinkle two opposite sides of the watermelon cubes with sugar.
5. Place watermelon kebabs on the grill, one of the sugared sides down. Grill for four minutes on each side.
