This simple yet refreshing dish highlights the natural sweetness of watermelon enhanced by a touch of salt. For added flair, you can include a drizzle of honey, a pinch of chili powder, or a sprinkle of citrus zest.
Ingredients:
- 1 small watermelon, chilled and cut into wedges or cubes
- 1-2 tsp coarse sea salt, flaky salt, or kosher salt
- Optional: honey, chili powder, citrus zest for added flavors
Instructions:
Arrange the cut watermelon on a platter or in a bowl.
Lightly sprinkle the salt over the top of the watermelon pieces, using about 1 tsp salt per 1 lb of watermelon.
Let the salted watermelon sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to be drawn out and to enhance the flavor.
Serve immediately for maximum juiciness and flavor. For an added twist, drizzle with honey, sprinkle with chili powder, or add a zest of citrus.
Enjoy this refreshing and flavorful treat!
