Description
This watermelon wedge salad is super refreshing and comes together quickly without any cooking! Wedges of juicy summer watermelon are topped with a tangle of sprouts, pistachios, and mint and a very simple lime dressing.
Ingredients
- 8 small/medium wedges of watermelon
- 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup raw pistachios
- 1/4 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
- 1 tablespoon hulled hemp seeds
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, julienned, plus extra for garnish
- 2 cups sprouts
- flaky sea salt, to taste
Instructions
Zest the lime and add it to a medium sized bowl along with the juice from half of the lime. Add the olive oil and maple syrup and whisk to combine. Add in the pistachios, coconut, hemp seeds, and mint and toss to coat in the dressing. Add the sprouts last, carefully tossing to combine everything. Serve a tangle of the sprout salad on top of each watermelon wedge. Garnish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and a pinch of mint.
This salad is best enjoyed the day it is made as the sprouts will wilt considerably once mixed with the dressing.
Notes
- To get perfect and even wedges, slice your watermelon into rounds (as pictured), then slice each round into 4 equal wedges. The thickness of the slices is up to you!
- Use any sprout you like! Broccoli and alfalfa tend to be the easiest to find and both taste great here. You can also use an equal amount of microgreens.
