What pairs well with watermelon?

Watermelon is a sweet flavour, so it may be best to avoid drinks that are also excessively sweet. For a truly summery combination, why not make a mint soda with fresh mint leaves and plenty of ice?

Can you freeze watermelon salad?

Salads are best served fresh and we recommend this dish be kept in the refrigerator only. The watermelon, in particular, will lose its signature crispiness when frozen and you will compromise on much of this salad’s unique texture.

What can you add to watermelon to make it taste better?

There are several tricks for enhancing watermelon’s flavour. One is to sprinkle a small amount of salt on top which brings out the sweetness. Others swear by drizzling balsamic vinegar over it. And just as honey goes well with feta cheese, it can also help sweeten watermelon if the fruit’s flavour isn’t quite up to scratch.

How long does watermelon salad last?

If you have leftovers or need to keep the salad for longer periods of time, it should last in the fridge in an airtight container for a few days. Be prepared to lose more of the salad’s crispy and crunchy texture with each passing day though.

How to properly cut and prepare watermelon
