Ingredients
Scale
Watermelon Fries
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into thick fry-shaped sticks
Yogurt Dip
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lime zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Optional Garnishes
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- Chopped fresh mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the Watermelon: Slice the seedless watermelon into thick, uniform sticks resembling French fries. Ensuring the pieces are similar in size helps with an appealing presentation and easy eating.
- Prepare the Yogurt Dip: In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla Greek yogurt, honey, fresh lime zest, and lime juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a creamy dip with bright citrus undertones.
- Arrange and Serve: Place the watermelon fries neatly on a serving platter. Serve chilled alongside the yogurt dip. Optionally, sprinkle chili powder over the fries and garnish with chopped fresh mint for added flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- For a vegan alternative, substitute coconut yogurt for Greek yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Keep the watermelon chilled until serving to maximize freshness and crunch.
- Sprinkle TajÃn seasoning on the watermelon fries for a tangy and spicy twist that complements the sweetness of the fruit.
