Mojito Watermelon Salad

July 21, 2017

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 minimal on the caloriest! Ideal for keeping those summer bods on track!

This salad 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:

  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!)
  11. Grilled chicken breast (if desired)

Method:

  • Combine lettuce, watermelon, onion and herbs.
  • Squeeze in lime juice
  • Drizzle with Olive Oil
  • Add salt + pepper
  • Mix thoroughly
  • Let stand for 10-20 minutes prior to serving so flavors “marinate”
  • Top with chicken and chick peas
  • Enjoy guilt-free deliciousness!

I know a Girl, she puts the COLOR inside of my wor I know a Girl, she puts the COLOR inside of my world ✨

...and that’s an understatement! To know Frankie is to Love her! Truly!

This little lady brings so much joy, laughter and sweetness to everything and everyone around her. Which is a very good thing - considering she prefers to rise before the sun, has a serious stubborn streak and is a tiny tornado always leaving a trail of crumbs in her wake! 🤪

In all seriousness, she is such a bright light in our lives, and has taught me more in the last three years than I ever thought possible. I am grateful to God everyday that He chose me to be her mama. 🤍 

Happy T H I R D Birthday my love, may you never change!
