How to Make Watermelon Fries with Coconut Lime Dip
🥣 Step 1: Make the Dip
In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, lime juice and zest, and coconut sugar. Stir until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed. Place in the fridge while you prepare the fries for a chilled, refreshing dip.
🔪 Step 2: Cut the Watermelon
Remove the rind and cut the watermelon into long, fry-like sticks, about the size of French fries. This shape makes them fun to eat and perfect for dipping.
🌶️ Step 3: Season the Fries
Arrange the watermelon sticks on a plate or serving tray. Sprinkle evenly with Tajín seasoning. The citrusy, mildly spicy kick balances beautifully with the sweetness of the fruit.
🥥 Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve your watermelon fries immediately with the chilled coconut lime dip. You can garnish the platter with extra lime zest or mint leaves for an extra pop of color and freshness.
Tips for Perfect Watermelon Fries
- Choose a seedless watermelon for easier slicing and better texture.
- Chill the watermelon before slicing for a crisper bite and enhanced refreshment.
- Don’t skip the lime zest—it brightens the dip and intensifies the citrus flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to get clean, uniform fry shapes.
- Make ahead tip: You can prep the dip and slice the watermelon a few hours in advance—just keep both in the fridge and assemble before serving.
