Yaaaaayyyyyy for summer weekends! They’re sunny, warm and completely carefree. And ya know what, happy hour recipes should be carefree too!
Watermelon is already the perfect summer snack but serve it with a chili-lime-salt mix for a fresh summer-y recipe is so easy, you won’t even break a sweat. Bonus, these fruity bites are awesome paired with a cocktail.
Tajin is a tangy, spicy power mixture that can be sprinkled on fruits and veggies to give them a pop of flavor. It’s simply a blend of chilies, salt and dehydrated lime. You can pick it up at most grocery stores in the ethnic aisle or in a specialty store. Keep it on hand for rimming your favorite margarita or beer glass if you’re feeling extra fancy.
