For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the watermelon cubes lightly before adding them to the salad. The slight char adds a smoky sweetness. If you don't have fresh mint, a pinch of dried mint can be used, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice, mint, salt, and pepper to your personal preference. Taste as you go! This salad is best served cold. Make sure to chill it thoroughly before serving for the most refreshing experience. Consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds or pine nuts for added texture.
