Benedict Watermelon

Benedict Watermelon

This recipe is an incredible presentation and very easy to create. You can also make an elegant brunch tray of slightly smaller versions.

1 1/2 cups low-fat granola of choice

1/3 cup honey at room temperature

4 to 6 (3-inch round and 3/4-inch thick) circles of seedless watermelon

4 to 6 (1/2-inch thick) slices of peeled kiwi fruit

1 cup low- or non-fat creamy lemon yogurt

2 or 3 purple grapes, sliced in halves, seeded, for garnish

Mix the granola with the honey by drizzling the honey evenly over the granola as you stir. On a serving plate, make 3-inch circles of granola in even thickness, dividing the granola/honey mixture evenly among the servings. Top each of the granola circles with a watermelon slice and place a slice of kiwi on each watermelon circle. Spoon the yogurt over the kiwi and watermelon as though it were hollandaise sauce on eggs benedict. Top each watermelon benedict with a grape half; skin side up as a garnish reminiscent of the olive slice on eggs benedict.

Serves 4 to 6.
