‘If you focus only on the seeds of a watermelon, you miss the sweetness of the meat’
I’ve been buying a lot of watermelon to keep the family hydrated during the various heat waves we have had on both sides of the pond. My baby Matteo loves to use it as a teether, my mum loves the sweetness and for Mr B I thought I would add some heat.
I have served this as a canape and palate opener as part of a tasting menu, hence the fancy picture. More often I through this all into a bowl and serve it when doing a BBQ or picnic.
Ingredients
- 4 cups of watermelon
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeno, deseeded and thinly sliced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp. Olive oil
- Pinch of pepper
- ½ tsp extra flaky sea salt
Method

- In a small bowl mix the rest of the ingredients apart from the salt. Taste and adjust to your own palate
- Spoon the dressing over the watermelon and sprinkle with the flaky salt
