Togarashi Watermelon Salad

Togarashi Watermelon Salad

Togarashi is a versatile all-purpose seasoning commonly found in Japanese households. Its flavor is a harmonious combination of spicy, savory, and subtly citrusy notes. Our blend specifically includes sesame seeds and poppy seeds for a satisfying crunch, orange for a touch of sweetness, and seaweed for that unique umami flavor. 

When added to dishes, it enhances the overall flavor by introducing complexity, depth, and a delightful kick.

This fresh fruit salad is a quick and vegan delight that combines juicy seedless watermelon and crunchy cucumber, tossed with zesty lime juice, aromatic sesame oil, and fresh basil.

Gluten-free and bursting with summer goodness, this salad is a versatile must-try.

Ingredients

  • 1 small seedless watermelon (about 4lb)
  • 1 English cucumber, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 8 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons Pacific Flake Sea Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Togarashi

Directions

Cut the watermelon in half and remove the rind before cutting the watermelon into bite size pieces.

Slice the cucumber into 1/4 inch pieces.

Add the watermelon to a large bowl with the cucumber and toss with the lemon juice, sesame oil, and basil.

Finish with a generous sprinkling of Pacific flake salt and Togarashi.
