This colorful dish is quick and easy to make and fun for kids to help out. You can make watermelon moons using circle cutters! A simple dressing of fresh lemon juice and olive oil makes the sweetness from the watermelon pop. Thinly sliced Japanese cucumber adds a natural subtle saltiness that complements the mint and watermelon perfectly.

notes
It’s fun to include different colors of watermelon if available. Using different shaped cookie cutters or just round cutters to make watermelon moons makes this easy salad fun to make and eat! Optional addition of toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), arugula greens, and pickled ginger adds another depth of flavor to this colorful dish.
