Notes
- Fresh herbs are a must: You just can’t get the same vibrant and refreshing flavor from dried herbs!
- Look for the best watermelon: Make this salad with a watermelon that feels heavy for its size and has a dark green rind. That’s how you’ll know it’s at peak ripeness.
- Don’t skip the chill: Always give this salad at least 30 minutes to chill in the fridge before serving to let the flavors deepen and get to know each other.
