Spicy Sesame Watermelon Salad

Cut the ends off the watermelon, halve it, peel the rind, and dice the flesh into bite‑size cubes.

Transfer the watermelon cubes to a large mixing bowl.

Sprinkle the cubes generously with salt, toss briefly, and let them rest for 5–10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

While the watermelon rests, prepare the dressing: in a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, chili crisp oil, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, roasted sesame seeds, and the freshly squeezed lime juice.

Whisk the dressing vigorously until all ingredients are fully emulsified.

After the resting period, drain any liquid that has collected at the bottom of the watermelon bowl.

Pour the prepared dressing over the drained watermelon cubes.

Toss the salad gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the spicy‑sesame glaze.

Allow the salad to marinate at room temperature for 10–30 minutes so the flavors meld.

Give the salad a final quick toss just before serving and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if desired.
