Optional Garnish
- 1 Teaspoon Tajin
Instructions

Notes
Serving sizes: The size of the watermelon you buy and how you cut it will determine the serving size. Cubes will serve more than wedges. If you need more than 5 servings, you could easily double this recipe.
In a hurry? Most grocery stores will sell pre-cut watermelon slices you can buy if you're pressed for time and don't want to cut up your own.
Serve right away: This is best served immediately after you pour the dressing on top. If you want to meal prep this recipe, you can slice the watermelon and make the dressing. Store them separately in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
