If there’s one thing that screams summertime to me, it’s watermelon 
I remember growing up, watermelon was one of my absolute favorite snacks in the summer. So much so that my parents would buy one weekly because I would eat it all and the family would want more.
Everything in this recipe is according to your taste and preference, so feel free to stray away from the ratios and adjust it based on your taste! There’s really no going wrong here, just be sure to adjust the salt and cayenne in small increments haha, we made the mistake of going a little too heavy on those once and it didn’t end well.
