This was such an interesting dish. I used a little more brown sugar since our watermelon wasn't at peak. Loved the dressing, especially the lime in it and the cilantro too. It opens up a lot of new possibilities for watermelon!

The dressing really punches up the flavor. I was out of cilantro, so I used parsley and a bit of basil. It was so good that I'm going to add a little sugar and turn the leftovers into sorbet.

Wow the dressing is great with the watermelon masha Allah (praise be to God)! I used baby seedless watermelon, regular sesame seeds as that is what I had on hand, (I think the black sesame seeds are for looks?), I used organic apple cider vinegar in a lesser amount in place of rice wine vinegar for religious reasons, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, plus the rest of the ingredients.

A great tasting salad, we thought, & that says a lot for the dressing, especially when it comes to watermelon! The only change I made was to use lemon pepper in the dressing instead of the usual S&P! Really enjoyed the ginger & garlic in this! Many thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

They actually had watermelon on sale at the store in January, so I bought some and made this wonderful recipe. Loved the dressing! Thanks
