Watermelon Salad

When your tomato haters are pleasantly surprised ... no tomatoes!

This salad is vibrant, refreshing and light with no oily dressing. Simply a little lime juice. A perfect hot summer evening salad!

Ingredients:

4 cups cubed watermelon

1 mango, cubed

1 sweet red pepper, diced

3/4 cup kernel corn

16-18 asparagus spears 

1 small red onion, sliced

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

4 basil leaves, finely chopped

4 mint leaves, finely chopped

black pepper to taste

2 tbsps lime juice

First prepare the asparagus. Lay the spears in a baking dish and pour boiling water over them. Leave them while you cut and chop the rest of the salad.

Toss everything together in a large bowl, then drain the asparagus and cut into 1 1/2" lengths. Add them to the bowl too, then chill.

May be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days, if there's any left!
