Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups watermelon cubed
  • 1 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes adjust to taste
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix the ingredients without breaking the watermelon cubes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, honey, chili flakes, and salt until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts on top for added crunch.
