This refreshing Watermelon Fish Snack is the perfect combination of sweet and savory, featuring juicy watermelon paired with flavorful fish, fresh mint, and a hint of lime.

It’s a unique and revitalizing treat that’s sure to impress at your next gathering or casual get-together.

Ingredients

• 1 cup diced fresh watermelon (about 1 small to medium-sized watermelon)
• 1/2 cup cooked and flaked fish (such as tilapia, cod or mahi-mahi)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
• Salt to taste

Instructions

Start by preparing your watermelon.

Cut it into small cubes, making sure they’re all roughly the same size so they’re easy to pair up later.

You’ll need about 1 cup of diced watermelon.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced watermelon, cooked and flaked fish, chopped fresh mint leaves, and crumbled feta cheese (if using).

Be gentle so you don’t mash the watermelon or break up the fish.

Squeeze the freshly squeezed lime juice over the top of the mixture and toss gently to coat.

Season with salt to taste.

You may want to add a bit more or less depending on your personal preference.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Just before serving, give the mixture a good stir and use a spoon to scoop out small portions onto a serving platter or individual plates.

You should end up with around 5 servings.

Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Fish Snack!

Notes

For a more vibrant flavor, use a ripe watermelon as it will be sweeter and juicier.

It’s essential to handle the watermelon gently when mixing to avoid mashing it.

You can substitute the fish with other types like salmon or halibut if you prefer.

Omit the feta cheese if you’re looking for a dairy-free or lower-calorie option.

For a bit of spice, add a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the mixture.

You can make this recipe ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.

Experiment with different herbs like basil or parsley if you don’t have fresh mint on hand.

This refreshing snack is perfect for a light lunch, potluck, or summer barbecue.
