Ingredients
Watermelon Fries
- 1 mini watermelon, sliced into 1-inch sticks with rind removed
- 3 tablespoons chili lime seasoning (such as Tajin or another chili lime seasoning)
Coconut Lime Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup plain unsweetened yogurt
- 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons light agave syrup
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
Instructions
- Season the Watermelon Fries: Place the pre-cut watermelon sticks on a serving platter. Evenly sprinkle the chili lime seasoning over the watermelon fries to add a spicy and tangy kick that complements their natural sweetness.
- Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the plain unsweetened yogurt, canned full-fat coconut milk, light agave syrup, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended to create a creamy, refreshing coconut lime dipping sauce.
- Serve: Transfer the prepared dipping sauce to a small serving bowl and place it alongside the seasoned watermelon fries. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor contrast.
Notes
- Use a mini watermelon for easier handling and appropriately sized fries.
- Adjust the amount of chili lime seasoning to taste if you prefer more or less spice.
- The plain yogurt can be substituted with plant-based yogurt to make it dairy-free.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle with chopped fresh mint or cilantro before serving.
- Serve immediately to prevent the watermelon from becoming soggy.
