Ingredients

  • 1 seedless watermelon
  • 2 limes juiced and zest
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili seasoning
  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese crumbled

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cube watermelon into 1 inch pieces.
  2. In a bowl add the watermelon, lime juice, kosher sat and chili powder. Toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, covered.
  3. Crumble cotija cheese over salad and the zest from 1 lime before serving.

Notes

  • I'm using a small round watermelon for this, but if you use a large, oblong sized watermelon, I add extra cheese. Season to taste.
