Ingredients:
1/2 of a large watermelon
6 small tomatoes
3 key limes juiced (Or 2 larger limes)
4-5 leaves of mint
Kosher salt (optional)
Directions:
Cut watermelon into pieces that will fit your food processor or blender.
Juice limes.
Blend watermelon, tomatoes, mint leaves and lime juice.
Place colander in a 9x11 casserole dish. Pour mixture in the colander.
When all the liquid has seeped through, remove colander.
Freeze for 3-4 hours. Rake with a fork every hour. (See video of my husband raking below.)
Serving
If you freeze overnight, set out about 10-15 minutes before serving. Letting it get a little juicy really increases the flavor.
You can sprinkle Kosher salt on at serving if you like salt on your watermelon. I know its controversial...but I really think it makes the dish!!

Wow this is surely a must try. My kids are waiting for spring and summer because they are the best seasons for watermelons.
I'm the only one who likes watermelon in my house so this recipe might be a way to get them to help me finish off one.
