Adventures with Watermelon

Watermelon salad

A coworker was going to bring me homemade food from her house. Given her family is from India and she likes to cook spicy, I was expecting nothing but the hottest food in the world -I was not disappointed-. So then I thought, what would be a good complement to a spicy dish? Something cold? Or at least fresh? That is when I remember this “salsa” I tried some time ago. May be I could turn it into a salad. And I did.

Watermelon salad

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of chopped, fresh and firm watermelon
  • 1 cup of seeded and peeled cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup of finely chopped red onions
  • 1 cup of finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 seeded and finely chopped jalapeño
  • 1 seeded and diced green or yellow pepper
  • the juice of two limes
  • salt

Instructions

This is an assembly dish. Combine all ingredients and enjoy. This salad is very fresh and the watermelon is very susceptible to the taste of the onion. I don’t suggest leaving any leftovers.

Enjoy!

PS If you chop and dice all the ingredients very small, this makes one of the greatest salsa for chips recipe in the world!
