Today’s Healthy Dessert: Refreshing Watermelon Mint Salad

Hi there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a light and refreshing dessert perfect for those hot summer days — my Watermelon Mint Salad. This dish always puts me in a cheerful mood with its vibrant colors and rejuvenating flavors. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 medium watermelon, cubed (about 500g)
• 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced (about 200g)
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Pinch of sea salt

Kitchen Tools:

• cutting board
• knife
• bowl
• citrus reamer
• spoon

To start, grab your cutting board and knife to cube the watermelon and slice the cucumber. In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, cucumber, and torn mint leaves. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and drizzle with honey. Add a pinch of sea salt for that perfect balance of flavors.

Gently toss all the ingredients together, making sure the lime juice and honey coat every piece of fruit. The sweet and tangy aroma will make your mouth water as you mix everything together. This salad is best served chilled, so pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Once chilled, give the salad a final toss to redistribute the juices. The combination of juicy watermelon, crisp cucumber, and fragrant mint will tantalize your taste buds with each bite. It’s a symphony of flavors in every spoonful — sweet, savory, and refreshing all at once.

The total weight of the Watermelon Mint Salad is approximately 700g, with about 4 servings. Each serving is around 175g, and you can expect roughly 70 calories per portion. Feel free to customize this recipe by adding some crumbled feta cheese or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick!

One unique tip for this dish is to add a splash of balsamic vinegar for a subtle tangy note. It enhances the sweetness of the watermelon and complements the mint beautifully. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations to make this dessert your own!

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this delightful Watermelon Mint Salad. It’s a guilt-free treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Give it a try and let me know how you like it! Bon appétit!
