Personal summer favorite! Cool watermelon spiced up just a bit. A quick, light take on a traditional summer staple. When feeling adventurous, I love to replace parsley with mint for a fresh kick.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups cubed, seeded watermelon

  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil

  • 1 cup chopped scallions

  • 2 tablespoons sliced jalapeno peppers

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Place watermelon in a large bowl.

  2. Heat grapeseed oil in a skillet over low heat; cook and stir scallions and jalapeno peppers until fragrant and warmed, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon scallion mixture over watermelon; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Sprinkle parsley over salad.

Cook's Note:

Grapeseed oil can be replaced with a very good extra-virgin olive oil.

Use a paring knife to poke the seeds out of your watermelon cubes.
