Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 small Fresh jalapeño
- 2 cups Watermelon (seedless, cubed)
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and the fresh jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat if desired). Add both to the salad bowl.
Add the cubed watermelon and crumbled feta cheese into the salad bowl for a balance of sweet and salty flavors.
Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad for a refreshing herbal note.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients without crushing them.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10 minutes if desired, to further enhance the cooling effect.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, spicy, and refreshing Fire Ice Salad.
