Ingredients

Scale

Watermelon Fries

  • 1 watermelon, rind removed and cut into fry-like shapes
  • 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. Chill in the refrigerator to enhance the refreshing flavor while you prepare the watermelon.
  2. Create Your Watermelon Fries: Remove the rind from the watermelon and cut the flesh into uniform fry-like strips, approximately ½ inch thick and 3 to 4 inches long, resembling French fries.
  3. Add the Flavor Pop: Arrange the watermelon fries on a serving platter and lightly sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons of Tajin Classic Seasoning to add a zesty, tangy, and mildly spicy kick.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the seasoned watermelon fries alongside the chilled coconut lime dip. Garnish the dip with extra lime zest and decorate the platter with fresh mint leaves for a bright, appealing presentation. Enjoy this light and refreshing treat immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use chilled watermelon for extra freshness.
  • Tajin seasoning adds a salty, tangy flavor; adjust quantity to taste.
  • The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • Use unsweetened coconut yogurt to control sweetness; adjust coconut sugar accordingly.
  • Fresh mint leaves add a nice aroma and color but are optional.
