Nutritional values

The macadamia nuts in this recipe are rich in heart-friendly, unsaturated fatty acids, as well as protein, fiber and other minerals. Paired with the watermelon, which is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, this makes for a wonderful, well-rounded treat! 

Because the mildly sweet tasting macadamia nuts can only be cracked with special machines, they are only available shelled and vacuum packed.

This looks exotic! I don't have a non-stick pan. What could I do to improvise?

A dash of olive oil should help if you don't have a non-stick pan.
