Notes
To make the salad last longer, cut the watermelon the day before and store it overnight in the fridge. When ready to assemble, drain all the excess juices before adding the other ingredients.
Flash freeze the goat cheese before crumbling to make it easier to break apart. Simply place the goat cheese in the freezer for ten minutes before breaking it apart.
This salad is only as good as the watermelon you pick, so make sure to follow the tips for picking the best watermelon.
