How to Pick a Good Watermelon

  • Weight: Choose a watermelon that is heavy for its size, this shows it’s full of water and not dry inside!
  • Yellow Spot: A yellow spot where the watermelon ripened on the ground is a must.
  • Shape: Choose a watermelon with a smooth, even shape and no outward defects.
  • Sound: When you knock on a watermelon it should have a hollow sound.

Salad Dressing

This watermelon salad is perfectly refreshing with just the lime and mint as dressing but also tastes amazing drizzled with balsamic vinegar. If do not have mint, basil pairs well with this watermelon salad as well.
