  • Taste the salad to make sure there is enough salt and enjoy immediately.

Tips & Notes

  • Because watermelon has a lot of water, be sure to eat this salad immediately. The salt will draw out the water and make all of the ingredients mushy if not eaten right away.
  • We do not recommend preparing this salad beforehand.
  • Feel free to use any nut you’d like in place of pistachios.
