Ingredients
Produce
- 2.5 cups watermelon, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1/2 lime, juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
Cheese
- 1/3 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
Seasoning
- 1/2 tablespoon Tajin seasoning
- Pinch of flaky salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon Skewers: Thread 5-6 watermelon cubes onto each skewer. Lay the skewers out on a serving plate for easy seasoning.
- Season with Lime and Tajin: Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the watermelon skewers. Sprinkle the Tajin seasoning evenly over the top to add a spicy kick and citrusy punch.
- Add Toppings: Generously sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese over the skewers, followed by the finely chopped fresh mint. Finish with a pinch of flaky salt for extra flavor and crunch.
Notes
- Use In Drinks: Freeze extra watermelon cubes and use them as flavorful ice cubes in summer beverages.
- Buy Local: Visiting your local farmers market for fresh watermelon and mint can boost flavor and support local growers.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the skewers just before serving to keep them crisp and vibrant.
- Alternate Cheese: Feta can be used instead of cotija for a slightly different flavor profile.
