Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized watermelon
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Aim for uniform pieces that are approximately 1 inch in size for even presentation.
Step 2
Zest the lemon using a microplane or fine grater, being careful not to remove too much of the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside for garnish.
Step 3
Juice the lemon into a small bowl, removing any seeds. Mix the lemon juice with the honey until well combined. This will create the tangy drizzle for your watermelon bites.
Step 4
Arrange the watermelon cubes on a large serving platter or plate in a single layer for easy topping.
Step 5
Drizzle the lemon-honey mixture evenly over the watermelon cubes using a spoon or small squeeze bottle.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves, and sprinkle them over the watermelon cubes to add a refreshing herbal note.
Step 7
Add a small pinch of sea salt over the watermelon cubes to enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness.
Step 8
Finish by scattering the reserved lemon zest over the top for added citrus aroma and visual appeal.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy the crisp, tangy, and sweet flavors of your Lemon Watermelon Nibbles!
