Watermelon Rind Mexican Salad
25 mins prepServes 4
This is like eating the Nopalitos salad but without the slime, and the rind is full of vitamins and good nutrients! The measurements here will be up to you, but here is what i used.
Start washing your watermelon in warm water and scrape it with a sponge. Peel the watermelon, trying to cut between the white and red parts. If there is some red still on the rind, it’s ok. Dice it and add it to a small pot with enough water to cover it all; add the 1/4 onion, garlic clove, bay leaf, oregano, and 1 tbsp of salt. Cover with a lid and boil for 20 minutes. Strain it and remove the onions, garlic, and bay leaf. Cool it down and add it to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. This is great as a side dish, but the best is eating it on a tostada or with tortilla chips.
