Ingredients

  • ¼ medium sized watermelon
  • 1 Jicama peeled
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 2-3 Serrano peppers chopped into rings
  • Juice from 2-3 limes as needed
  • Chili powder for dusting
  • splash of hot sauce if desired

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Scoop the watermelon into tiny balls. I used a ¼ teaspoon measuring spoon for mine. Set them into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Chop the jicama into small squares roughly the same width as the watermelon balls. Set into the mixing bowl.
  3. Slice the cucumber into rings about ¼ inch thick, then quarter them. Into the mixing bowl they go.
  4. Add lime juice and toss to coat.
  5. Spear a watermelon ball, a slice of jicama, and a couple of cucumber quarters on toothpicks. Have fun and vary up the order.
  6. Set onto a serving plate and dust with chili powder.
  7. Top with sliced serrano peppers and serve. Splash with hot sauce, if desired!
