Notes
This recipe will make about 4 cups of salad. You can very easily make more of less with a quick adjustment of the ingredients. As an appetizer, plan on about half a cup per person.
Once dressed, watermelon doesn’t have a long shelf life. I recommend eating this salad within a few hours for the best results.
Any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
