4 servings
- 5 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (about ½ small watermelon)
Can be omittedseedless watermelon
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes (about 12 oz total), cored and roughly chopped
- 1 medium english cucumber (about 10 oz), peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
Ingredient noteRed and yellow bell peppers contain some excess fructose that a low fructose diet limits in larger servings; the small amount used here (about a third of a cup or less per serving) keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid red bell pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 small shallot, roughly chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped
Ingredient noteA serving of up to about one small jalapeño is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 1/4 of a jalapeno per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid jalapeño, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed, plus more for garnish
