Instructions

Remove the seeds from the watermelon and cut it into chunks. Discard the rind.
Add the watermelon chunks to a blender and blend until smooth. This creates a vibrant base for the slush.
Pour the watermelon puree into glasses. Freeze for at least 1 hour to allow the slush to thicken.
Remove the slush from the freezer. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. The lemon juice adds brightness and balances the sweetness.
Sprinkle a pinch of black salt over each serving. Black salt adds a unique savory note that complements the watermelon beautifully.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For an extra tangy twist, add a pinch of chaat masala along with the black salt—this classic Indian spice blend elevates the slush with a burst of savory-sour flavor kids will love.
Freeze the watermelon cubes for at least 2 hours before blending to achieve a thicker, frostier slush without needing additional ice, which can dilute the taste.
If serving at a party, pour the slush into hollowed-out mini watermelon shells for a fun, eye-catching presentation that doubles as a natural cup.
To make it a fizzy treat, top the finished slush with a splash of soda water or lemon-lime soda just before serving.

Expert Tips

For a more adult version of this slush, add a splash of vodka or tequila.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less simple syrup or your preferred sweetener.
If you don't have black salt, a small pinch of sea salt can be substituted, but it won't have the same unique flavor.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover slush in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days. The texture may change slightly upon thawing, so give it a good stir before serving.
