Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large watermelon seedless, ripe
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
  • 2 tbsp honey or agave syrup
  • 1 lime lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp lime zest for added flavor

Equipment

  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Mixing bowls
  • Blender
  • Serving plates

Method
 

  1. Using a sharp knife and cutting board, peel the watermelon and slice it into thin, fry-shaped sticks about 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches long. Arrange the watermelon fries on a tray and chill in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to enhance crispness.
  2. In a blender, combine coconut milk, honey, lime juice, and lime zest. Blend until smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.
  3. Pour the coconut lime dip into a small bowl and set aside. Remove watermelon fries from the refrigerator and arrange them on serving plates.
  4. Serve the chilled watermelon fries with the coconut lime dip on the side. Optionally, drizzle some extra lime juice over the fries for added tang.

Notes

Ensure the watermelon is fully chilled before serving for optimal crispness. The dip can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
