Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large Watermelon ripe, flesh removed from rind and cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup Coconut milk full-fat preferred for creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice freshly squeezed for brightness
  • 1 teaspoon Honey or agave syrup optional, for slight sweetness
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt to enhance flavors

Equipment

  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Slice the watermelon into thick wedges approximately 2-3 inches wide, then arrange on a baking sheet or platter. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly and enhance its refreshing texture.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, honey (if using), and salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. The dip should be creamy with a bright, citrusy aroma.
  3. Remove the watermelon wedges from the fridge. Serve them on individual plates or a serving platter alongside the coconut-lime dip.
  4. Optional: Garnish the watermelon wedges with a small sprinkle of lime zest or fresh mint leaves for added visual appeal and flavor contrast.
