Clementines are both the dipper and the bright orange flavor idea. Bottled orange juice loosens thick yogurt by a small measured amount, while honey rounds it out. The child peels the fruit and stirs the dip without using a knife.

The skill you’re learning

A measured tablespoon of juice gives flavor without turning a thick yogurt dip into a drink. Add the listed amount before deciding whether it needs any more.

Try one change

Replace the cinnamon with 1/8 tsp ground ginger for a sharper flavor.

Serving & storing

Refrigerate covered at 40°F or below within 2 hours of preparation (1 hour above 90°F); use within 1 day. Store untasted dip and peeled segments separately.
