Notes

Easily double the recipe to feed a crowd.
It happens to all of us -- you bite into a slice of watermelon and it tastes like... water. The good news is, you don't have to toss that tasteless watermelon. You can easily enhance the flavor by adding a little bit of salt and/or fresh lime juice. For a spicy kick, try adding some chili lime seasoning!
Make this watermelon salad into a hearty main dish by mixing in some cooked quinoa and arugula.

Storage: Store watermelon salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
