Instructions

Prepare the Watermelon Fries: Cut the watermelon into thick slices, then cut those slices into fry-shaped sticks approximately 4 inches long and 1 inch thick. Arrange the fries neatly on a serving platter.
Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt, honey, lime zest, and lime juice. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Serve: Serve the watermelon fries chilled alongside the yogurt-lime dipping sauce. Sprinkle the fries with a pinch of chili powder or Tajín for a tangy, spicy contrast if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves to add a refreshing aroma and color.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
Tajín seasoning adds a tangy and spicy kick that pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of the watermelon.
This snack is best served chilled and fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
