Tired of noshing on plain fruit? This watermelon recipe takes the best part of the fruit salad and dresses it up with savory ingredients like shallots, basil, and a spicy jalapeno.
Nothing beats the refreshing taste of watermelon. This spicy Paleo dish puts a fun twist on a traditional summertime snack and makes watermelon taste brand new again.
All you need is a few minutes of prep time to pull this salad together. Start by cubing up about 3 cups of fresh watermelon, and top with chopped shallots, basil leaves, and a small jalapeno pepper. Mix it all up and season to taste with lime juice, lime zest, and freshly cracked black pepper. Keep tasting as you go to make sure all the flavors are balanced the way you like it.
Then, stick your watermelon salad in the fridge. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavors will marry. Serve cold over a bed of micro greens, and enjoy!
