Ingredients

1 ½ cups cubed medium tomatoes (1-inch)
1 ½ cups cubed watermelon (1-inch)
½ jalapeño, seeded, if desired and very thinly sliced
Zest of 1 lime
2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
3 tablespoons lime juice
½ teaspoon toasted (dark) sesame oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ripe avocado, cubed (1-inch)
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
2 tablespoons torn fresh mint leaves
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Maldon (see Tip)

Directions

Gently toss tomatoes, watermelon, jalapeño and lime zest in a medium bowl.
Place ginger in a fine-mesh strainer over a small bowl and press on it to extract all its juice. Discard the pulp. Whisk lime juice, oil and kosher salt into the ginger juice.
Add the ginger mixture to the tomato mixture along with avocado and sesame seeds; gently toss to combine. Sprinkle with mint and sea salt.

Tips

Maldon sea salt has been produced in the town of Maldon, England, since 1882 with seawater from off the Essex coast. Its large, flaky crystals enable you to use just a tiny pinch of salt to deliver a big hit of flavor.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
