Today’s Exotic Recipe: Tangy Thai watermelon salad

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing and unexpected dish perfect for a hot summer day: Tangy Thai watermelon salad. The combination of sweet watermelon, tangy lime, and savory fish sauce creates a burst of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.

For this recipe, you will need:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Gather these unique ingredients:

  • 500g watermelon, cubed
  • 50g red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red chili, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey

Start by combining the watermelon, red onion, red chili, cilantro, and mint leaves in a large mixing bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, and honey until well combined. Pour the dressing over the watermelon mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. The sweet and tangy aroma will make your mouth water in anticipation.

Once the salad has marinated, give it one final toss and transfer it to a serving dish. The vibrant colors and fresh scent will immediately brighten up any table.

This Tangy Thai watermelon salad weighs approximately 750g once prepared, making enough for 4 servings. Each serving is about 187.5g, with an estimated calorie count of 90 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top for an added crunch and nutty flavor. It takes this dish to the next level and creates a delightful texture contrast.

I hope you give this Tangy Thai watermelon salad a try and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite. Feel free to customize it with your favorite herbs or add grilled shrimp for a protein boost. Let me know how you like to make it your own!
