About Pepino salad

Pepino Salad is a refreshing dish rooted in South American cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Colombia and Ecuador. It features pepino melon, a juicy fruit with a mild, cucumber-like taste, complemented by tomatoes, onions, and a zesty lime dressing. Often garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro, this salad embodies light, crisp flavors ideal for warm climates. Pepino melon is rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and provides hydrating properties due to its high water content. The addition of lime juice boosts vitamin C intake and supports immune health. While naturally low in calories and fat, variations may include added salt or oil, which could slightly increase the sodium or fat content. Pepino Salad is cherished for its delicate sweetness, vibrant colors, and healthy profile that pairs beautifully with grilled proteins or can be enjoyed as a standalone snack.
