Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pound seedless watermelon chilled, cut into fry-like sticks
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon lime zest
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Tajín (chili-lime seasoning) optional, for a spicy-sweet finish
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt a small pinch enhances sweetness
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Slice chilled watermelon into 0.75-inch slabs, remove the rind, then cut into fry-like sticks about 3 to 4 inches long. Pat dry with paper towels to reduce excess moisture.
- Make the yogurt dip: In a bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, honey, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Season the watermelon fries lightly with Tajín and a tiny pinch of sea salt. Toss gently to coat without breaking the sticks.
- Arrange the watermelon fries on a platter. Spoon the yogurt dip into a small bowl and place alongside.
- Garnish with chopped fresh mint and, if desired, an extra sprinkle of lime zest or Tajín.
- Serve immediately while crisp and chilled.
Notes
Best enjoyed right away—salt and acidity will draw out moisture over time. For dairy-free, use a coconut-based yogurt. Adjust the Tajín to taste or swap with a pinch of chili powder and a little extra lime zest.
