# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in minutes, leaving you more time to enjoy summer instead of standing over a hot stove.
  • The sweet, salty, tangy combination tastes unexpectedly sophisticated while tasting like pure refreshment.
  • It's the kind of dish that makes people ask for the recipe, then seem surprised it's actually this simple.
02 -
  • Assemble this salad as close to serving time as possible, because watermelon releases water once it's cut and will turn your whole dish into a puddle if it sits too long.
  • Quality balsamic glaze makes a shocking difference, it's not just vinegar taste but a sweet, syrupy richness that completely changes the flavor profile.
03 -
  • Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet for just a few minutes until fragrant, then let them cool before adding, they bring an unexpected richness that makes people wonder what you did differently.
  • If your watermelon isn't as sweet as you'd hoped, let the balsamic glaze do the heavy lifting and drizzle a little extra.
