🛒 Ingredients

🍉 Watermelon Fries

• ½ seedless watermelon, cut into thick fry-shaped sticks

🧀 Whipped Feta

• 200 g feta cheese
• 100 g Greek yoghurt
• Juice of ½ lemon

✨ To Finish

• 1–2 tablespoons I AM Hot Honey
• Fresh mint leaves
• Finely grated lime zest
• Optional: Tajín seasoning or a pinch of chilli flakes for extra heat

👩🍳 Method

1. Prep the watermelon. Cut into thick, fry-shaped sticks and pop them in the fridge to chill until you're ready to serve. Cold watermelon is key — it makes every bite extra refreshing.
2. Make the whipped feta. Add the feta, Greek yoghurt and lemon juice to a food processor. Blend until silky smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust with a little extra lemon if needed.
3. Build your platter. Spread the whipped feta generously across a large serving platter or spoon it into a bowl for dipping.
4. Arrange the fries. Lay the chilled watermelon sticks alongside or around the whipped feta — think of it like a beautiful, edible art installation. 🎨
5. Drizzle the magic. Generously drizzle I AM Hot Honey over the watermelon and feta. Don't be shy — this is the hero of the dish.
6. Finish & serve. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top, add a little lime zest for brightness, and if you love heat, finish with a light sprinkle of Tajín or chilli flakes. Serve immediately.
