Description

Enjoy a refreshing and unique twist on summer snacking with Watermelon Fries served alongside a creamy Coconut Lime Dip. This no-cook recipe combines juicy watermelon sticks sprinkled with zesty lime and optional chili powder for a sweet and spicy flavor contrast. The coconut lime dip adds a rich, tropical creaminess perfect for dipping, making it an ideal light appetizer or healthy snack for warm weather gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Watermelon Fries

  • 1 medium seedless watermelon (about 5-6 lbs), rind removed, cut into fry-like sticks
  • 1 tbsp lime zest (for sprinkling)
  • 1 tsp chili powder (optional, for a kick)

Coconut Lime Dip

  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (from a can, chilled)
  • 1/4 cup coconut yogurt (unsweetened)
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime (about 1 tsp zest, 2 tbsp juice)
  • 2 tsp honey or agave (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon Fries: Slice the watermelon into 1-inch thick rounds, carefully remove the rind from each slice, then cut each round into fry-shaped sticks approximately 1 inch wide and 3-4 inches long.
  2. Season the Watermelon Fries: Arrange the watermelon sticks neatly on a serving platter. Sprinkle evenly with the 1 tablespoon of lime zest and, if desired, a light dusting of chili powder to add a subtle spicy kick.
  3. Make the Coconut Lime Dip: Scoop the thick coconut cream from the chilled can into a mixing bowl. Add the unsweetened coconut yogurt along with the lime zest and juice. If preferred, add 2 teaspoons of honey or agave for sweetness. Whisk all ingredients together until the dip is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Present the chilled watermelon fries alongside the coconut lime dip. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and freshness.

Notes

  • Use a ripe but firm watermelon so the fries hold their shape well.
  • The chili powder is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweet watermelon.
  • Chilling the coconut cream beforehand helps in achieving a thick, creamy dip consistency.
  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with agave syrup or another plant-based sweetener.
  • This recipe is best consumed fresh to enjoy the crispness of the watermelon fries.
