Watermelon Salad

This salad is quite simple but surprising in taste.  I found this recipe in the "Vegetarian Times" magagine.  And it was too good not to share. 

A little side note...my kids did not like the lime juice, so I had plan watermelon for them.

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
zest from 1 lime
2 cups seedless watermelon - cut into 1/2 inch cubes or balled
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/4 cup basil - chopped
1 tsp black sesame seeds (white will work also)
1/2 tsp sea salt

Directions:
Whisk together lime juice, oil and zest. 
Add jalapenos, basil, sesame seeds and salt
Set aside
Place watermelon into large serving bowl.
Pour lime juice mixture over the watermelon and gently toss to combine.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve
