Summer and watermelon go together like Mac and Cheese.
When the weather is scorching hot…
a chilled slice of watermelon hits the spot.
As a kid we would take a half slice of watermelon outside and let the sweet juice run down our chins and arms. Seedless watermelons were unheard of so a little ‘seed spitting’ was in order, too! Mom probably had to hose us down before letting us back in the house.
My Mother would always eat watermelon and canteloupe sprinkled with salt. I prefer my watermelon naked but daughter, Sarah, and her friends introduced me to TAJIN fruit with lime seasoning a few years ago. From the moment I tried it, I was hooked and it has become family favorite. The combination of lime, salt and a little kick with the sweet juicy watermelon is delectable.
I find TAJIN at Walmart and sometimes at the local grocery store in either the fruit section or ethnic foods section.
Give it a try. I think you’ll be hooked too!
