A refreshing and light summer snack combining sweet watermelon, creamy cottage cheese, fresh mint, and a spicy Tajin kick. Perfect for quick, no-cook preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups seedless watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 cup small-curd full-fat cottage cheese
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse the watermelon and cut about 2 cups of seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of small-curd cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon honey (optional), and a pinch of sea salt. Stir gently until creamy but still with small curds.
  3. Rinse and finely chop about a tablespoon of fresh mint leaves.
  4. In a serving bowl, add the watermelon cubes first, then spoon the cottage cheese mixture over the top.
  5. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of Tajin seasoning over the bowl, adjusting to taste.
  6. Optionally, gently stir to combine flavors or leave layered for visual appeal. Serve immediately.

Notes

If watermelon is extra juicy, drain on paper towels before mixing to avoid watery cottage cheese. Add mint last before serving to keep it fresh. Adjust Tajin seasoning carefully to avoid overpowering the dish. For dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with thick coconut yogurt.
