Watermelon Salad Recipe

This is easily one of my favorite summer salads! It is so simple, fresh and delicious and can literally be thrown together in five minutes flat! The coolest thing about this salad is that it DOES NOT require salad dressing! The bold flavors of the herbs, onions, lime juice and a splash of olive oil create a yummy pseudo – dressing, that is full of flavor and minimal on the calories! Ideal for keeping those summer bods on track!

This watermelon salad recipe is also perfect if someone (ahem, husband) brings home a watermelon from the grocery store that is LARGER than life, and you are looking for ways to use it all before it goes bad! Great served as a side, or you can also make this salad a meal by topping with grilled chicken breast and chickpeas!

Here’s What you Need To Make the Mojito Watermelon Salad:

1. Head of romaine lettuce, washed and dried
2. 3 Cups watermelon, cubed
3. 1/2 cup Basil, roughly chopped
4. 1/2 cup Mint, roughly Chopped
5. 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
6. 1 cup cucumber
7. Juice from 2-3 limes
8. Salt + Pepper to taste
9. 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
10. 1 cup chickpeas (I forgot to add mine this time!)

Method:

• Combine lettuce, watermelon, onion and herbs.
