Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized watermelon
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Start by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Aim for uniform pieces that are approximately 1 inch in size for even presentation.
Zest the lemon using a microplane or fine grater, being careful not to remove too much of the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside for garnish.
Juice the lemon into a small bowl, removing any seeds. Mix the lemon juice with the honey until well combined. This will create the tangy drizzle for your watermelon bites.
Arrange the watermelon cubes on a large serving platter or plate in a single layer for easy topping.
Drizzle the lemon-honey mixture evenly over the watermelon cubes using a spoon or small squeeze bottle.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves, and sprinkle them over the watermelon cubes to add a refreshing herbal note.
Add a small pinch of sea salt over the watermelon cubes to enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness.
Finish by scattering the reserved lemon zest over the top for added citrus aroma and visual appeal.
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy the crisp, tangy, and sweet flavors of your Lemon Watermelon Nibbles!
