Instructions

Cut the Watermelon:
Slice off both ends of the watermelon, then cut off the rind. Cut the watermelon into thick slices, then into “fries” – long, thin sticks about 4 inches long.
Make the Dip:
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, coconut cream, honey or maple syrup, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Chill until ready to serve.
Serve:
Arrange watermelon fries on a platter. Sprinkle with a little lime zest or Tajín for a pop of flavor, if desired. Serve with the dip on the side for dipping.

Notes

Use coconut yogurt to make it vegan and dairy-free.

Add a pinch of chili powder or a drizzle of honey on top for a sweet-spicy kick.

Best served chilled for maximum refreshment!
