This is one of those salads that the longer it sits, the better it gets. The heat from the chipotle chili powder is tamed by the juicy watermelon, sweet mango and crisp cucumber.

I love the little bowl you mixed the salad dressing in! Where can i buy it?
Absolutely delicious! I have served this MANY times for different groups, and compliments ABOUND! It is soooo full of fresh flavor!
This is a keeper. The Spicy Chipotle-Lime Vinaigrette is excellent. For the salad I used a shallot in place of the red onion. Replaced mango with cantaloup.
All good.
Delicious
Wow this is such a great salad! I made a lot of watermelon salad but this by far is my favorite! This will now become a summertime staple at our house.
This salad is by far the best summer time freshest salad I’ve ever eaten. I didn’t have chipotle, so I used chili lime seasoning, red wine vinegar and no olive oil. I am literally standing here eating right out of the bowl. Probably won’t share either ☺️.
