Expert Tips:
- Enhance the flavor of this salad with several additions! Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Or, give it a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Recipe FAQs:
You can experiment with other cheeses like goat cheese or ricotta if you prefer a milder flavor. Keep in mind that the choice of cheese will impact the overall taste and texture of the salad.
Look for a watermelon with a few specific qualities. It should feel heavy for its size, and have a uniform shape. The rind should be dull, not shiny. Tap the watermelon, and if it produces a deep, hollow sound, it’s likely to be ripe and juicy.
Seeded watermelons need the seeds removed before you enjoy them. Seedless watermelons are sweeter and have a better texture. No need to remove the seeds before eating!
