Nightshade Free Watermelon Mint Cubes
Sweet, juicy watermelon gets a serious upgrade here with a bright lime-honey dressing and a generous scatter of fresh mint. The combination of lime zest, lime juice, and a touch of sea salt pulls out the natural sweetness of the fruit in the best possible way. This is the kind of dish that looks effortless but tastes like you actually thought about it. Nightshades — tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and their relatives — sneak into so many summer salads and sides, but this one is completely in the clear with nothing but clean, fresh ingredients. A short chill in the refrigerator lets the flavors meld together so every cube is coated in that tangy, floral dressing. Serve it straight from the bowl or scoop it into individual cups for a refreshing bite that works as a side, a snack, or even a light dessert.
