Instructions
- Slice the watermelon to your preferred size chunks and add them to a large bowl.
- Next, stack the mint leaves and roll them up into a long cigar shape. Make thin slices along the roll to chiffonade the mint. Once done, use your fingers to break up the strips and sprinkle them onto the watermelon. Gently toss both ingredients together, so the mint is not just on top.
- Make the drizzle by mixing all three ingredients in a small bowl.
- Portion out the salad, top with drizzle, and enjoy!
Notes
- You can either serve the watermelon mint salad in portions and then drizzle on top of each serving or serve the watermelon with small dip bowls for dipping the watermelon pieces into it. Either way, it’s best to use the drizzle just before serving, so it won’t soak into the watermelon and lose its punch.
- Consider adding fresh nectarines, mango, or cherries to the salad. Any sweet fruit that would pair well with limes.
- If you like Tajin, this is a great opportunity to use it and add some spice.
