I’m excited to share a refreshing and unique recipe with you today that perfectly captures the vibrant flavors of summer. This Spicy Summer Watermelon Salad is a delightful mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy ingredients that will make your taste buds dance with joy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small watermelon, cubed (about 600g)
  • 1 English cucumber, diced (about 200g)
  • 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Start by combining the cubed watermelon, diced cucumber, sliced jalapeno, and chopped mint in a large mixing bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the watermelon mixture and gently toss everything together until well combined. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and give it one final toss.

This Spicy Summer Watermelon Salad is best enjoyed immediately to preserve the crunch of the cucumber and the freshness of the mint. The spicy jalapeno adds a kick that pairs beautifully with the sweet watermelon and tangy feta cheese. Each bite is a burst of summer flavors in your mouth.

One unique tip for this salad is to chill the watermelon in the fridge before assembling the salad. The cold watermelon adds a refreshing touch to the dish and makes it even more perfect for hot summer days.
