# Tips from flavorandfeast:

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking, so you will not heat up your kitchen on a scorching day.
  • The combination of sweet watermelon and tangy lime is incredibly addictive.
02 -
  • Serve this salad immediately because watermelon releases a lot of water as it sits.
  • Do not overdress the salad or it will become soggy very quickly.
03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife to ensure clean cuts through the watermelon rind.
  • Keep the ingredients separate from the dressing until the very last second.
