Notes
- Two quick points when it comes to watermelon! If you’ve never marinated your watermelon before, just even for an hour or so, prepare to never look back! It gives it that extra flavor boost and makes it even more delicious!! And if you’re questioning putting a vinaigrette on top of watermelon, get on board. The shallots and garlic with the salt and pepper add the most glorious flavors you could ever imagine!
