Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 8 to 10 cups watermelon, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
- 1 to 2 limes, juiced
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh mint
Instructions
- Prepare the watermelon: Cut the watermelon into 1 ½-inch cubes, ensuring they are bite-sized for easy serving and eating.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the watermelon cubes with the freshly squeezed lime juice and minced mint. Toss gently to evenly coat and blend the flavors without crushing the watermelon.
Notes
- Adjust the ingredient ratios to your taste—add more or less mint or lime juice depending on your preference. Adding lime zest can intensify the lime flavor.
- Do not discard the watermelon rind; it can be repurposed for pickles, jams, or stir-fries, and also serves well as compost.
- Customize the texture by cutting the watermelon cubes larger or smaller depending on your liking for this salad.
