True Food<\/a>, you\u2019ve stolen our hearts with your Watermelon Salad. We\u2019re talking one of the best salads we\u2019ve ever<\/em> eaten. A homemade rendition had to happen!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Friends, it\u2019s now your turn to be swept off your feet. Just 20 minutes<\/strong> stand between you and this show-stopping, sweet + spicy watermelon salad that\u2019s so hydrating, fresh, and perfect for summer. Let us show you how it\u2019s done!<\/p>\n

\"Watermelon,<\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

The base of this AMAZING salad is crunchy cucumber<\/strong> and sweet watermelon<\/strong> with bites of avocado and cherry tomatoes. Fruit salad? Veggie salad? It\u2019s a whatever-you-want-it-to-be salad!<\/p>\n

\"Stirring<\/figure>\n

It all gets tossed together with the spicy element: Calabrian peppers<\/a>! They\u2019re fruity and spicy and SO good, but if you don\u2019t want to have one more ingredient added to your refrigerator, red pepper flakes or another spicy chili would also work.<\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s coated or drizzled with a creamy, sweet, bright, subtly smoky turmeric mango dressing<\/a>. While she\u2019s kind of dreamy just like that, a few toppings take her to the next level!<\/p>\n

\"Platter<\/figure>\n

Marcona almonds, sesame seeds, crumbled seaweed, and a pinch of flaky salt deserve a standing ovation for their roles in this salad. You might not think these flavors go together, but woah<\/em>, just wait until the first bite!<\/p>\n

It makes the perfect light meal for two paired with your favorite protein, but we aren\u2019t strangers to a solo party involving devouring the whole bowl. Yes, it\u2019s that<\/em> good! Don\u2019t judge.<\/p>\n
