It's melon season, which means it's time for watermelon mint salad. I love the melon sweetness against classic mint flavor with the subtle radish spice. It’s a hydrating, flavor explosion and perfect for warm days, BBQ parties, and picnics!

How to cut watermelon for watermelon salad

The hardest part about this salad is dicing the watermelon into those cute little ½” pieces. If that's too much of a pain, you could always buy the pre-cut melon pieces. But, convenience always comes with a price.

Why not just grab a melon and practice your knife skills. They’re so fun to cut once you get the hang of it. You must be careful and prevent the melon from rolling when you initially cut into it. Do this by cutting off and inch or two from each end, and using either end as a base to stand it up.

As for the radishes, feel free to chop them into any bite-sized shape you like. You could even pulse them in a food processor for a few seconds, but be careful...don’t liquify them.

What I LOVE about this watermelon salad

Everything! Every time I bit into it, I feel instantly hydrated! And of course I eat a bunch at once, because I’m a watermelon-binger.

This watermelon salad with flecks of radish, topped with mint and tossed in a honey lemon vinaigrette…it has it all going on!

I also love that it only involves a little chopping, whisking, tossing, and chilling…and you’re done!

The spicy, crisp radishes against the tender, juicy watermelon, sweetened with a little honey and lemon?…what’s not to love?!

    What a great idea pairing radish and watermelon! The slightly spice crunch from the radish would contrast perfectly with the sweet watermelon!
