Tips:

  • Cut the watermelon into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat and will help the flavors of the other ingredients to meld together.
  • Use a variety of grapes: Different types of grapes will add different flavors and textures to the salad. Try using a mix of red, green, and black grapes.
  • Add citrus fruits for a refreshing touch: Citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, and lemons, will add a bright and refreshing flavor to the salad.
  • Use fresh herbs for extra flavor: Fresh herbs, such as mint, basil, and cilantro, can add a nice pop of flavor to the salad. Be sure to use them sparingly so that they don't overpower the other ingredients.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all that is needed to bring the flavors of the salad together. Too much dressing will weigh the salad down and make it soggy.
