For the Salad
  • 1 medium Watermelon Use seasonal fresh watermelon; avoid frozen for the best texture.

For the Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice Lemon juice can be used instead if lime is unavailable.
