Notes

Substitutions: Swap mint for fresh basil for a savory-sweet twist. Use honeydew or cantaloupe in place of watermelon.
Storage: Best eaten immediately; watermelon releases water quickly and the yogurt layer may thin. Do not store assembled.
Make-ahead: For a frosty summer version, freeze cubed watermelon for 30 minutes before layering.
