Summer Recipe: Spicy Watermelon Salad

Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for a refreshing and unique summer dish: Spicy Watermelon Salad. This dish is perfect for hot days when you’re looking for a light and satisfying meal that will tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 1 small watermelon, cubed (about 500g)
• 1 cucumber, diced (about 200g)
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (about 100g)
• 1 jalapeno, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
• Juice of 1 lime
• Handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
• Crumbled feta cheese for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• citrus juicer

To prepare the Spicy Watermelon Salad, start by cubing the watermelon and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Add the diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and diced jalapeno. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Next, sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the salad and give it another toss to ensure everything is evenly distributed. The refreshing mint adds a burst of freshness to complement the sweetness of the watermelon.

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with crumbled feta cheese for a creamy and salty contrast to the juicy watermelon and spicy jalapeno.

This Spicy Watermelon Salad weighs approximately 800g once prepared, serving about 4 people. Each serving is around 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 100-150 per portion.

Clever Tip:

For an extra kick of heat, add a sprinkle of chili powder or a drizzle of hot sauce to the salad before serving. The spicy element pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the watermelon, creating a flavor explosion in every bite.

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this Spicy Watermelon Salad! Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite ingredients or adjust the spice level to suit your taste preferences.
