SPICY WATERMELON SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE AND LIME



Spicy Watermelon Salad With Pineapple and Lime image

Refreshing, sweet and spicy, this salad is the edible equivalent of a crisp beer on a hot summer's day. It pushes the watermelon-feta-mint combination to new heights with a Mexican-inspired flavor profile of lime, jalapeño and cilantro. It's also easy to prepare, requiring little more than a knife, a bowl and a whisk. Enjoy it as soon as it's assembled, as the salty dressing draws the juice out of the fruit fairly quickly and the salad can lose its fresh crunch. A sprinkle of Tajín, a chile-lime Mexican spice blend, is optional, but adds a touch of smoke.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy fruits: The quality of your watermelon and pineapple will greatly impact the flavor of your salsa. Look for watermelons that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color. Pineapples should be golden yellow and have a slightly sweet aroma.
  • Dice the fruits evenly: This will help the salsa to hold together and distribute the flavors evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to dice the fruits and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Chill the salsa before serving: This will help to enhance the flavors and make the salsa more refreshing.
  • Serve the salsa with your favorite chips, crackers, or grilled meats.

Conclusion:

This watermelon and pineapple salsa is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy fresh fruits. It is perfect for summer gatherings or as a healthy snack. The combination of sweet watermelon, tangy pineapple, and zesty lime juice creates a flavor profile that is both unique and irresistible. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing snack or side dish, give this watermelon and pineapple salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
