Ingredients
  

For the Watermelon Fries
  • 1 medium-sized watermelon Choose one that's heavy and with a uniform shape for best flavor.
For the Coconut Lime Dip
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk Use full-fat for a creamier texture.
  • 1 each lime (juice) Freshly squeezed for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Adjust based on sweetness preference.
  • 1 each lime (zest) Enhances flavor profile.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the watermelon in half, then slice each half into thick wedges. Remove the rind from each wedge, and cut them into fry-shaped sticks.
Making the Dip
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, lime zest, and salt. Whisk until well blended and smooth.
Serving
  1. Arrange the watermelon fries on a serving platter, and place the coconut lime dip in a small bowl for dipping. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Store leftover watermelon fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The dip can be refrigerated for up to three days; whisk in a little coconut milk before serving to restore consistency. Look for firm, juicy limes for the dip.
