Recipe by Josh Silvers at Syrah Restaurant in Santa Rosa, CA. I just tried this for the first time yesterday with a slight modification (I used agave nectar instead of the suggested syrup) and served it to a group of friends who were visiting. Everyone loved it, it's very refreshing, healthy, and easy to make. Perfect for a hot summer day! Ingredients:
1 seedless watermelon (approx. 10 lbs.) |
1/2 red onion |
1 red bell pepper, diced |
1 yellow pepper, diced |
1 jalapeno, diced |
1 bunch cilantro, divided |
1/2 cup simple syrup (1/2 water to 1/2 sugar, cooked) |
3 limes, juice and zest of |
1 avocado, sliced |
1 teaspoon dark chili powder |
1 teaspoon new mexico chile powder |
1 teaspoon smoked paprika |
Directions:
1. Take half of the seedless watermelon and put in a blender. Pulverize with simple syrup if needed.
2. Fine-dice the other half of watermelon and add to it.
3. Mince half of the cilantro and add to the mixture; set the other half aside for garnish.
4. Add the onion, peppers, jalapeno, and lime zest.
5. Toast the chili powders and paprika in a pan on the stove. Add to the watermelon mixture.
6. Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
7. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and avocado slices.
