  • The sweet and salty combo hits that perfect summer craving spot every single time
  • It comes together in literally 15 minutes with zero cooking required

  • Buy watermelon already cubed if you are short on time or just hate wrestling with a giant melon
  • Pat the watermelon cubes gently with paper towels if they seem especially wet to prevent a watery salad
