Notes
NOTES:
- One can skip honey for a completely vegan version. Sometimes we don't add either honey or maple syurp as the watermelon is itself sweet.
- Ingredients for the Vinaigrette is optional, go with what catches your fancy.
- This was moderately spicy for us, but you could add or delete any ingredient of your choice.
