There are very few things that taste as fresh as a watermelon salad on a hot day. Watermelon is one of the absolutely most refreshing fruits there are. Hands down. So of course this salad incorporates many other fresh flavors. Cucumber, mint, and lemon help to round out this salad that is sure to be a hit.
Start by cutting the watermelon in half an then into one inch strips. Cut out the juicy red centers and then cut the melon into 1 inch cubes. Place them into a medium sized metal bowl.
Next, split the cucumber in half lengthwise and repeat with each half. Turn sideways and cut into 1 inch pieces. Add them to the metal bowl.
Add the lemon vinaigrette and toss lightly till everything is coated and let it marinate for 5 minutes.
Spoon into a bowl for serving and add the juices over the top. Sprinkle the mint leaves and chopped pepitas on top and enjoy!
