Caribbean Citrus Chile Rub + Banana

Hawaiian Smoked Sea Salt + Watermelon 

Wood from the kiawe tree, similar to mesquite, infuses our Hawaiian Smoked Sea Salt with soft, sweet, smoky notes. The delicate balance of this interesting salt creates a flavor profile that pairs perfectly with watermelon, fresh or grilled. Sprinkle this over fresh watermelon and a squeeze of lime for the perfect lunch side dish. Take to to the next level by grilling the watermelon briefly for a quick sear to further enhance the smokiness.
