Ingredients

Scale

Watermelon Fries

  • 1 watermelon, rind removed and cut into fry-like shapes (about ½ inch thick and 34 inches long)
  • 2 teaspoons Tajin Classic Seasoning

Coconut Lime Dip

  • 1 cup coconut yogurt (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
  • Zest and juice of 1 fresh lime
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or to taste)
  • Extra lime zest for sprinkling
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Whip Up the Dreamy Dip: In a bowl, mix together the coconut yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and coconut sugar until smooth and creamy. Place the dip in the fridge to chill while you prepare the watermelon fries. Chilling enhances the refreshing flavors.
  2. Create Your Watermelon Fries: Remove the rind from the watermelon and cut the flesh into uniform fry-shaped strips approximately ½ inch thick and 3-4 inches long, resembling classic french fries.
  3. Add the Flavor Pop: Arrange the watermelon fries on a serving platter and sprinkle them evenly with the Tajin Classic Seasoning, adding a tangy and mildly spicy kick that heightens their natural sweetness.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the watermelon fries alongside the chilled coconut lime dip. Garnish with extra lime zest and fresh mint leaves for an elegant presentation. Enjoy immediately as a refreshing, healthy treat.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of Tajin seasoning to make the fries more or less spicy based on your preference.
  • Use coconut yogurt varieties that are unsweetened or lightly sweetened to maintain a balanced flavor in the dip.
  • For an extra touch, chill the watermelon fries briefly before serving to enhance their refreshing quality.
  • This snack is best consumed fresh to enjoy the juicy texture and crisp seasoning.
  • Fresh mint leaves add both aroma and a complementing freshness to the dish.
