SPICY WATERMELON SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE AND LIME



Spicy Watermelon Salad With Pineapple and Lime image

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 for Making a Refreshing Lime-Grapefruit-Pineapple Salad

  • Choose ripe and juicy fruits. This will ensure that your salad is full of flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the fruits. This will help prevent the fruits from tearing or bruising.
  • If you don't have a grapefruit spoon, you can use a regular spoon to scoop out the grapefruit segments.
  • Be careful not to overmix the salad. Overmixing can cause the fruits to become mushy.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

A lime-grapefruit-pineapple salad is a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy fresh fruits. It is a perfect summer salad or side dish. The salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
