Notes
- Feel free to use fresh peaches in place of watermelon. The flavors work just as beautifully with peaches as well. You may need to adjust the amount of dressing depending on how many peaches you use.
- Make this salad about 2 to 3 hours prior to serving and store in the refrigerator to let the flavors marinate together.
- Goat cheese makes a great substitute for queso fresco.
