Watermelon Salad
a recipe from the Horjus Kitchen
several limes, zest and juice
several sprigs of fresh mint
Cube watermelon and place it in a large bowl.
Zest limes and add both zest and juice to the watermelon.
How many limes you ask? Good question! I used four normal sized limes for one normal sized seedless watermelon. That seemed like enough but your mileage may vary.
Give this a good stir and put it in the fridge.
Cut fresh mint into confetti (chiffonade). Keep the mint confetti in the fridge and stir it in to the watermelon right before serving. The leaves off three or four sprigs should be plenty. I used maybe 2 tablespoons of confetti for one watermelon, again, ymmv.
Note:
The mint will get stronger and stronger. Once the mint is in, this salad does not keep until the next day.
Seriously, the mint gets strong. If you take this to a party don't add the mint at home...take the mint in a separate container and add it right before the meal is served.
mint right before serving = Yum!
mint hours before serving = not yummy
Sorry if you are now terrified of mint.
