Ingredients
DRESSING
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (if oil-free, omit)
- 3 Tbsp lime juice (1 large, juicy lime yields ~3 Tbsp)
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1/4 tsp salt sea salt
- 3/4 tsp maple syrup
SALAD
- 5 cups watermelon cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups cucumber preferably English or Persian cucumber // if using regular cucumber, peel in strips to make alternating stripes of green and white, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup red onion very thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup mint roughly chopped, fresh leaves
- 1/2 - 1 thinly sliced jalapeno pepper (or sub 1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes)
- 1/4 cup pepita or roughly chopped shelled pistachios
- 1/2 cup vegan feta crumbles (optional but recommended // we used Follow Your Heart brand)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and maple syrup.
- To a large bowl, add the watermelon, cucumber, red onion, mint, and jalapeño. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss to coat. Add pepitas (or pistachios) and vegan feta (optional) and toss gently until just combined (avoid over-stirring). Taste and adjust as needed, adding more salt or vegan feta for saltiness, jalapeño for heat, lime juice for acidity, or mint for freshness.
- Best eaten fresh — leftovers become soggy and mint discolors with time. Not freezer friendly.
Notes
- *Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with pepitas and without optional ingredients.
