1/4 cup fresh cilantro

1/2 fruit jalapeño sliced

3 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

Press one whole mini watermelon completely bone-dry with paper towels slicing the pink core into uniform cubes or wedges.

Whisk fresh lime juice raw blossom honey olive oil kosher salt and optional chili flakes inside a separate glass bowl to mix a thick dressing layer.

Stir the finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and thinly sliced jalapeño pepper rings directly into the bubbling vinaigrette liquid mix.

Transfer straight onto the serving platter floor scattering a generous crowning layer of crunchy flaky sea salt over the green summit.
