Preparation
Jalapeño and basil vinaigrette
- Using a blender or a food processor, blend all dressing ingredients until semi-smooth.
Watermelon salad
- In a large bowl, toss all salad ingredients with jalapeño and basil dressing. Add a little Tajin salt to the salad and enjoy!
Notes : To make watermelon salad more protein-packed, I recommend adding grilled chicken or tofu. It’ll be just as delicious! It’s normal for watermelon to release a lot of water. Just drain a little before serving!
