What’s more refreshing than watermelon? Very little in our book. Add in jalapeño and you’ve got a summer-time salad worth noting! This is one of those salads that’s perfect as an appetizer, as a light lunch, or even as a dessert. It crosses mealtime boundaries.
For less spice, prepare it right before serving. For more, let the salad sit for four to six hours prior to serving The watermelon will take-in the spiciness from the jalapeños. Or you could opt to step it up to a serrano pepper for additional heat.
