1. Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, and honey. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
2. Combine Ingredients
In a large serving bowl, combine the cubed seedless watermelon. Sprinkle the crumbled Cotija cheese over the top. Add the thinly sliced serrano chiles, fresh cilantro leaves, and thinly sliced red onion.
3. Toss and Serve
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well mixed. Serve immediately while the watermelon is still cold and crisp.
Use cantaloupe, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, cucumbers, mint, and a red wine vinaigrette. Serve with grilled pita bread on the side.
Stick with watermelon but add grilled shrimp or chicken for protein, replace cilantro with flat-leaf parsley, and throw in some avocado for creaminess. Dress with a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette.
Use fresh peaches, crumbled blue cheese, arugula, sliced red onions, and jalapeños. Dress with a balsamic reduction and garnish with toasted almonds.
Combine pineapple, halloumi cheese, red onion, cilantro, and habanero chiles. Dress with a honey-lime vinaigrette and a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
Mix ripe mango, Thai basil, thinly sliced red cabbage, and crumbled ricotta salata. Dress with a lime-fish sauce vinaigrette and top with crushed peanuts.
