Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large watermelon ripe and chilled
  • 1/4 cup grated shredded coconut unsweetened preferred
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice about 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk full fat or light

Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Grater
  • Small spoon

Method
 

  1. Use a sharp knife and cutting board to slice the watermelon into evenly thick strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide, resembling fries. Arrange the watermelon fries on a serving plate and keep chilled until ready to serve.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the grated shredded coconut and coconut milk. Add the fresh lime juice and stir well with a small spoon until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. The dip should have a creamy consistency and a bright citrus aroma.
  3. Serve the chilled watermelon fries on a platter alongside the coconut lime dip. For presentation, you can arrange the fries in a parallel line or cluster for visual appeal.
  4. Optionally, garnish the dip with a small sprinkle of extra grated coconut or a lime wedge for added visual contrast and flavor.
