As Keep Life Tasty describes, "We made a smoked watermelon and it took over eight hours to make—this is way too long—so we decided to make a seasoning blend that has the same flavor without all of the work." Inspired by the popularity of smoked watermelon, the Smoked Watermelon Salt Spicy Seasoning Blend was created to get more flavor out of fruits and veggies. The seasoning blend combines red pepper, sumac, watermelon, parsley and sea salt, and the unconventional mix is said to lend itself well to everything from juicy mangoes and cucumbers to cantaloupe, strawberries, tomatoes and much more.
