Hi,
this was a real treat on a hot summer’s day – cold, sweet and refreshing. Watermelon ball salad is very simple. The only “catch” here is that the watermelon is but to balls with melon baller. I’m not a fan of specialized tools. But melon baller is something I really enjoy using. And use it for other stuff as well. Even to make small ice cream balls 🙂

Needed for Watermelon ball salad

Watermelon (depending on the number of people, small or big or half. For this salad I used one half of the small watermelon and one quarter of middle sized yellow watermelon)
1 lime
3 Tbsp sugar
1-2 Tbsp water
melon baller (optional)

Zest the lime and juice it. Ball the watermelon using melon baller. To servie it in a watermelon bowl I removed the rest of the red flesh with big spoon. The removed watermelon flesh I used to Then make the simple syrup for sugar, lime juice and water. I only needed 1 Tbsp of water. My lime was quite juicy so minimal amount of water was needed. Add all to one pot and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle the lime zest over watermelon balls, and pour the lime simple syrup over it. Mix it and leave it all to cool.

Serve watermelon ball salad in the watermelon bowl when it’s cold enough. Enjoy! 😀
