Notes
- Watermelon Tip: Choose a mini seedless watermelon that feels heavy for its size—it will be juicier and sweeter.
- Goat Cheese Sub: Use whipped feta or cream cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Presentation: Serve on a chilled platter for extra freshness and visual appeal.
- Flavor Boost: Add a small mint leaf or basil chiffonade for a pop of herbal freshness.
