Description
A refreshing, sweet-salty snack where juicy watermelon cubes meet tangy, crunchy pickles with a cool hint of mint. Bright, surprising, and totally addictive for picnics, parties, or quick bites.
Ingredients
- Watermelon: 4 cups, cubed
- Dill pickles: 1 cup, sliced
- Fresh mint: 2 tablespoons, finely chopped, optional
- Sea salt: pinch, optional
Instructions
- Chill the serving platter in the refrigerator for a few minutes so the snack stays extra refreshing.
- Cut the watermelon into neat bite-size cubes and slice the dill pickles into rounds.
- Arrange the platter with alternating rows of watermelon cubes and pickle slices for contrast.
- Sprinkle the top with chopped mint and a light pinch of sea salt if desired.
- Serve immediately while cold and crisp.
Notes
- Use seedless watermelon for the cleanest bites and best texture.
- Keep both the watermelon and pickles well chilled before assembling for maximum crunch.
- Bread-and-butter pickles create a sweeter balance, while spicy pickles add heat.
- Assemble right before serving to prevent excess juices on the platter.
