Ingredients
For garnish: finely diced watermelon, red onion, and avocado, fresh basil leaves and olive oil
Instructions
- Place the watermelon rind, red onion, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until finely chopped.
- Add the watermelon, tomato, basil, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend again until mostly pureed, with a little texture left. You can also puree until completely smooth if you'd like!

Easy and delicious! 1 mini seedless watermelon and all the additional ingredients fit into one blender pitcher (they compress down as the blending begins). I used slightly less salt and added one additional Tbs red wine vinegar for a little extra tartness and the flavor is AMAZING! Don’t be afraid of the jalapeno. The end result isn’t overtly spicy at all.
I wish I could post a photo or two. It is so beautiful!
I LOVE this recipe! It is sweet and savory and I love utilizing the rind. I chose to garnish with just basil and olive oil due to service timing and kids but it was the right flavor and texture pop. I served it for dinner and then blended it even more fine to be used for Blood Mary’s. Add a bacon garnish!
