- 1. Ingredients: 1/2 small seedless watermelon cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/4 small red onion diced
- 1 small jalapeño pepper seeded and diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Start by chopping the watermelon into bite-sized pieces. You can do this by cutting it into small squares or triangles.
Next, add in the diced tomatoes. Make sure to seed the tomatoes first so that they don't make the salad too watery.
For the final ingredient, add in some diced jalapeño peppers. If you want a milder flavor, you can remove the seeds from the peppers before dicing them up.
Once all of the ingredients are in the bowl, mix everything together gently until it's evenly mixed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Enjoy!
