# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms five minutes of effort into something that looks like it came from a restaurant kitchen
  • The lime and salt trick makes watermelon taste like watermelon but somehow more like itself
  • Works for every dietary restriction under the sun without anyone feeling like theyre missing out
02 -
  • Cutting everything into similar sizes means every spoonful has the perfect balance of all three fruits
  • The mint goes in last because it browns and wilts if it sits too long in the acidic dressing
  • Ten minutes in the fridge makes a difference but anything over an hour and the fruit starts breaking down
03 -
  • Buy your watermelon whole and cut it yourself rather than buying precut cubes, which lose their texture and flavor surprisingly fast
  • Use a microplane for the lime zest to avoid getting any bitter white pith in your dressing
