Good Substitutions

If you want to forgo the cilantro-lime flavors, and prefer a sweeter fruit salad, you might want to dress it with an infused simple syrup instead.

Watermelon Agua Fresca with Leftovers

If you happen to have any watermelon salad left over, and it’s starting to get mushy, just blend it up into a lovely watermelon agua fresca.

Alternatively, watermelon gazpacho anyone?
