Sometimes, the best snacks are the simplest ones—and these Watermelon Fries with Coconut Lime Dip are proof. They’re juicy, cool, and subtly spicy thanks to a dusting of Tajin.

Paired with a creamy coconut-lime dip, it’s the kind of snack I reach for on hot afternoons when I want something fun, healthy, and a little unexpected.

Why I Love This Recipe

Hydrating and fresh – Watermelon is nature’s perfect summer snack.

Spicy-sweet balance – Tajin’s chili-lime kick pairs beautifully with fruit.

No cooking required – Just slice, sprinkle, and dip.

Dairy-free and vegan – Thanks to coconut yogurt.

Party-perfect – Colorful, snackable, and fun to serve.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Watermelon – Choose seedless and ripe for best flavor.

Tajin Classic Seasoning – Chili, lime, and salt for a zesty kick.

Coconut yogurt – Creamy, dairy-free base for the dip.

Lime juice & zest – Adds brightness and contrast.

Coconut sugar – Just enough sweetness to balance the tang.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Cut watermelon like fries – Long, thin sticks make dipping easy.

Chill the yogurt dip – It tastes even better cold.

Zest before juicing – Easier and more efficient.

Taste and tweak the dip – Add more lime or sugar to your liking.

Use a wide shallow bowl for dipping – Less mess!

How to Make Watermelon Fries with Coconut Lime Dip

Step 1: Make the Dip
In a bowl, stir together coconut yogurt, lime juice and zest, and coconut sugar.

Mix until smooth. Chill while prepping the fruit.

Step 2: Slice the Watermelon
Remove the rind and cut the watermelon into long, fry-shaped sticks.

Step 3: Season and Serve
Arrange watermelon fries on a plate and sprinkle evenly with Tajin seasoning.

Serve immediately with the coconut lime dip.

What to Serve It With

Tacos or grilled skewers for a summer meal

Smoothies or mocktails for a poolside snack

As a refreshing appetizer for BBQs or picnics

Add jicama or cucumber fries for variety

Perfect on a fruit platter with extra dip on the side

Variations / Substitutions

Use Greek yogurt instead of coconut if not dairy-free

Add a pinch of cayenne to the dip for heat

Top fries with fresh mint or lime zest for garnish

Swap coconut sugar for maple syrup or honey

Use mango or pineapple sticks for a tropical twist

Storage & Leftovers

Fridge – Store cut watermelon in an airtight container up to 2 days.

Dip – Keep refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 3–4 days.

Don’t freeze – Watermelon becomes mushy once thawed.

Prep ahead – Make the dip in advance; slice watermelon right before serving.

FAQs

Can I use another fruit instead of watermelon?
Yes! Try mango, cantaloupe, or even cucumber for a crunchy twist.

Is Tajin very spicy?
No—it’s more tangy and salty with mild heat. You can adjust the amount to taste.

What if I can’t find Tajin?
Mix chili powder, lime zest, and a pinch of salt as a quick substitute.

Can I make this dip sweeter?
Definitely—just add more coconut sugar or a drizzle of honey.

Does it need to chill before serving?
The dip tastes better chilled, but it’s ready to enjoy right away too.

Is this kid-friendly?
Yes! Just reduce the Tajin if they’re sensitive to spice.

Can I serve this for a party?
Absolutely. It’s colorful, refreshing, and a total crowd-pleaser.

Final Thoughts

These Watermelon Fries with Coconut Lime Dip are my summer snack obsession.

They’re so simple, yet full of flavor and contrast—crisp, juicy melon with a creamy, tangy-sweet dip and just the right hint of spice.

Whether you’re poolside, picnicking, or just need a healthy treat, this is one to keep on repeat.
