Sweet & Spicy Watermelon & Cucumber Salad
Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 1/2 watermelon
- 1/2 English cucumber
- 2 tsp light brown sugar
- 2 tsp Tajin classico (you can buy it here)
- juice of 1 lime
- a handful of mint leaves, chiffonaded for garnish
- handful of coriander leaves, roughly torn for garnish
Instructions
- De-rind the watermelon and dice into bite-sized chunks. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a spoon, then slice into thin half-moon-shaped pieces. Add fruit to an appropriate-sized bowl.
- Next, make your spice rub by combining the brown sugar with equal parts Tajin and mix together with a spoon or your fingers to remove any clumps of sugar.
- Dust your fruit with 2 teaspoons of the spice rub, followed by half of the lime juice and stir to combine. Tip into your serving bowl.
- Garnish with herbs and a further dusting of spice rub and the remaining lime juice. Feel free to serve with the spice rub and additional halves of limes on the side so guests can add more as they desire.
Notes
*Additionally, this fruit salad and its juices can be added to soda water for a delicious lightly-flavoured mocktail.
