SPICY WATERMELON SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE AND LIME
Refreshing, sweet and spicy, this salad is the edible equivalent of a crisp beer on a hot summer's day. It pushes the watermelon-feta-mint combination to new heights with a Mexican-inspired flavor profile of lime, jalapeño and cilantro. It's also easy to prepare, requiring little more than a knife, a bowl and a whisk. Enjoy it as soon as it's assembled, as the salty dressing draws the juice out of the fruit fairly quickly and the salad can lose its fresh crunch. A sprinkle of Tajín, a chile-lime Mexican spice blend, is optional, but adds a touch of smoke.

Tips:
- Choose ripe fruits: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your ice trio will be.
- Freeze the fruit in advance: This will help the fruit retain its shape and make it easier to blend.
- Use a high-powered blender: This will ensure that the fruit is blended smoothly and evenly.
- Add a little bit of liquid: This will help the ice trio blend more easily and prevent it from becoming too thick.
- Serve immediately: Ice trio is best served immediately after it is made, as it will start to melt and lose its flavor over time.
