Comments
This was actually quite delicious, even though at first I thought, "Why mess with watermelon? It's perfect as is!" The combination of lime/chili and sweet melon was so refreshing, I ended up eating much more than I normally would have. I tried this recipe with cantaloupe, and it was just as tasty, too.
