Meet your new favorite summer snack and party talk starter: Watermelon Chamoy Pickle Spears! This whimsical dish combines the sweet, juicy goodness of watermelon with a tangy kick from chamoy—a savory and spicy Mexican sauce made from savory pickled fruit and chili. Each spear is an electrifying blend of flavors, perfect for a cooling summer treat or a party snack that will have people asking for the recipe!
Slice the watermelon into thick spears or wedges, depending on your preference. Ensure they are easy to grab and eat with your hands.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of chamoy sauce, the juice of 2 limes, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to make the chamoy brine.
Place the watermelon spears into a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish.
Pour the chamoy brine over the watermelon spears, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove the watermelon spears from the brine and allow any excess liquid to drip off.
Serve immediately at your party or gathering, and enjoy the sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. Garnish with extra lime wedges if desired.
