Watermelon Salad with Aleppo Pepper
I made this watermelon salad and took it to the roasting of a whole pig, and the salad was almost as big a hit as that pig. The hostess let me take home an entire leg/ham and assorted bits in exchange for the last few bites of the salad! This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Watermelon FAQs
For the ripest, juiciest watermelon, choose one that is uniform in shape, feels heavy for its size, and has a yellow spot on the rind. For more details, check out this article on how to tell if a watermelon is perfectly ripe.
If you haven’t cut into your watermelon, it can be stored whole on the counter at room temperature for up to a week. Once cut, stash your watermelon in a sealed container or covered with plastic wrap and enjoy within 5 days.
Yes. For best results, cut the watermelon into cubes before freezing. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the freezer until solid, then pop them into a resealable bag and keep frozen for up to 1 month.
I don’t recommend thawing frozen watermelon as it can become mushy. Instead, enjoy it frozen, or blend it into frozen drinks.
