Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Substitute yellow watermelon for red watermelon.

Substitute jalapeños with poblano peppers. If you do not want any heat, use green bell peppers in place of jalapeños.

Substitute lime juice with lemon juice and lemon zest for lime zest.

Substitute cilantro with basil, chives, or parsley.

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
