Ingredients
Scale
Watermelon Fries
- 1 small seedless watermelon, cut into fry-shaped sticks
Coconut Lime Dip
- 1/2 cup canned coconut cream, chilled
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Shredded toasted coconut for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon Fries: Cut the watermelon into thick slices, then slice each into long fry-shaped sticks. Place the pieces on a paper towel-lined tray to absorb excess moisture.
- Make the Coconut Lime Dip: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the chilled coconut cream, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lime zest, lime juice, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut if desired. Arrange the watermelon fries on a platter and serve immediately alongside the coconut lime dip for dipping.
Notes
- Chill the watermelon before slicing for the best refreshing texture.
- For a vegan option, use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
- This dish is best served fresh and cold to maintain juiciness and flavor.
