Want the easiest, most delicious summer salad you can assemble in 15 minutes? This Whole30 Watermelon Mojito Salad takes summer’s favorite fruit to the next level with a lime and mint twist. This recipe calls for just five easy ingredients and Plant-Based Whole30-compatible, so it’s perfect for anyone at your table!
The sweetness of watermelon pairs phenomenally with the light, refreshing crunch of cucumber. We toss it with freshly squeezed lime juice, chopped mint leaves, and a pinch of salt. Try to chop the watermelon and cucumber into nice small pieces, about ½” cubes. This will make for a more bite-sized consistency. Also, be sure to peel the cucumber before chopping for an improved consistency as well, as the skin can be not as soft.
This a fun, refreshing summer salad you will find yourself making again and again. Perfect as a side for a BBQ, potluck, or to take to poolside parties.
