Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the small seedless watermelon into long, rectangular 'french fry' shapes. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even seasoning and presentation.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine the chili powder, lime seasoning, and salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed, then sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the watermelon fries in the mixing bowl, tossing gently.
  3. Grab another small serving bowl and add the lime Greek yogurt along with the honey. Mix until smooth and creamy, and sprinkle a pinch of chili powder on top if desired.
  4. Arrange your Chili Lime Watermelon Fries on a platter with the creamy honey lime yogurt dip alongside. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
