This watermelon salad is bright and fresh on a hot day. It incorporates the acidity of freshly squeezed lime juice, a little salt, and the freshness of mint to contrast a juicy and sweet watermelon. The cayenne gently hits your tongue and is a great add-in.

• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1/2 cup mint leaves, torn

2. While the watermelon is on the board, season nicely with Kosher salt.
3. In a large bowl mix the lime juice and cayenne pepper.
