First, pour your dressing into a mixing bowl, and as you slice your fruit place it in the dressing to keep it from browning/oxidizing. Once you’re done cutting the fruit, mix thoroughly. Finally, add the radish sprouts and mint!
Pickled Watermelon Rind
First cut your watermelon rind into manageable 1 and 1⁄2 inch by 4 inch “Sticks”, then shave into thin 1 and 1⁄2 inch strips and place in a glass jar.
