Spicy Watermelon and Charred Corn Salad with Jalapeño Salsa
“The combination in this salad is a bit unusual, but trust me, it really works,” says food writer and stylist Emily Ezekiel, who created this beautifully balanced Spicy Watermelon and Charred Corn Salad with Jalapeño Salsa. The marinated watermelon brings sweetness and heat – a delicious contrast with the bitter leaves (use whatever you have handy, the more colourful the better); and the almonds and charred corn bring smoky crunch.
