Ingredients

For the Watermelon Fries:

1 small seedless watermelon (rind removed, cut into ½-inch thick “fry” sticks)
2 tsp Tajín seasoning (or mix chili powder + lime zest + salt)

For the Coconut Lime Dip:

1 cup coconut yogurt (or Greek yogurt for extra protein)
Zest + juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp coconut sugar (or honey/maple syrup)

Pinch of salt

Optional Garnish:

Fresh mint leaves
Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

1. Prep the Watermelon Fries

Slice watermelon into long, fry-shaped sticks (about 3-4 inches long).
Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture (helps Tajín stick better).
Sprinkle with Tajín seasoning just before serving (so they stay crisp).

2. Make the Dip

In a bowl, whisk together coconut yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, coconut sugar, and salt until smooth.
Taste and adjust sweetness/tanginess as needed.

3. Serve & Enjoy!

Arrange fries on a platter with dip in the center.

Garnish with mint or coconut flakes for extra flair.

🔥 Pro Tips

✅ Extra crunch? Chill watermelon sticks for 30 mins before serving.
✅ Spice lovers can add a dash of cayenne to the Tajín.
✅ Make ahead: Prep dip up to 1 day in advance.
