This salad has been on repeat for us all summer since it’s super refreshing + hydrating! Watermelon is definitely one of my favorite fruits and is made of 93% water – making it an excellent addition to your diet during the hot summer months. The recipe below is for 1 serving, but I would suggest multiplying the ingredients by 4-6x what the recipe says below if you to bring it to share at your next BBQ. Make sure to make it before the summer ends!
