01 -

The way cold watermelon and salty cheese play together will make you wonder why you ever ate them separately
It takes literally fifteen minutes from fridge to table, which is about how long my patience lasts when the kitchen feels like an oven

02 -

Watermelon varies wildly in sweetness, so always taste a piece before making the dressing and adjust the honey accordingly
The onion can overpower delicate palates, so soak the slices in ice water for ten minutes if you want to tame the bite

03 -

Let the dressed salad sit for five minutes before serving to let flavors meld
Use a serrated knife to cut through watermelon without crushing the delicate flesh
