Ever had watermelon with tajin? If your answer is no, then you are really MISSING OUT! This recipe is Alison’s version of that powerhouse combo, and I am HERE for it.
It’s simple. Sumac provides the sourness. Aleppo pepper provides the spice and heat. Coarse kosher salt provides… the salt. Artfully arrange a place of watermelon and cucumber slices (or don’t make it pretty, that’s fine too), and sprinkle a mixture of these spices over the plate. What results is a sweet, sour, spicy, salty snack, perfect for a crowd or just you and a friend.
Margaret and I ate two full plates, along with salted potato chips and ginger sparkling water from Whole Foods (so good!). It was the perfect summer lunch on my balcony.
