Do you ever get into phases where this one thing is basically the only thing you want to eat? That’s where I am right now with this watermelon snack, which, by the way, is 1 shot of tequila shy of a deconstructed margarita. If you’ve never had watermelon with salt before, try it. Once you do, you’ll never want watermelon without a dash of salt again.
Not only is it a perfect summertime snack, it’s basically the best snack to have poolside. You’re welcome.
Now, salt selection is incredibly important here – you want a large flake salt, like Maldon. A regular table salt will melt right into the watermelon and for this, you’ll want something that can hold up to the watermelon and not completely soak in but give you a little crunch. Maldon is my go-to for this job!
The squeeze of lime and chopped mint bring the whole experience together for a perfectly refreshing treat. If you really want to go crazy, cube the watermelon, add the salt, lime, mint and feta! Bam, poolside salad ready to go!
