Notes
- Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but expect the watermelon to release some liquid.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so avoid reheating; any leftovers are perfect as a refreshing side.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, especially as a light lunch or alongside grilled chicken or fish.
- For a pop of flavor, lightly grill the watermelon cubes before assembling the salad to enhance their sweetness and add a smoky note.
