Ingredients
Scale
Watermelon Fries
- 1 watermelon, rind removed and cut into fry-like shapes (about ½ inch thick and 3–4 inches long)
- 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)

Instructions
- Whip Up the Dreamy Dip: In a bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and coconut sugar. Mix thoroughly until the dip is smooth and creamy. Place the dip in the refrigerator to chill and allow the flavors to meld while you prepare the watermelon fries.

- Add the Flavor Pop: Arrange the watermelon fries on a serving platter in an attractive manner. Lightly sprinkle the fries evenly with Tajin Classic Seasoning to impart a tangy and mildly spicy flavor that enhances the natural sweetness of the watermelon.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the seasoned watermelon fries alongside the chilled coconut lime dip in a bowl. Garnish with extra lime zest and fresh mint leaves to add brightness and a touch of elegance. Enjoy this refreshing, healthy snack immediately for the best taste.
