📖 Instructions

1. First things first, prep the watermelon radish. These guys are gorgeous, with their pink interiors. Use a mandoline (carefully!) or a sharp knife to slice them super thin. Aim for paper-thin slices. If you don't have a mandoline, just do your best – slightly thicker slices are still delicious.
2. Next, cube the watermelon. You want bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat. Remove any seeds, of course. I like to use a melon baller for a fancy touch, but cubes are just fine, honestly.
3. Now, let's get that dressing going. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, red pepper flakes, and salt. Taste it! Adjust the honey or red pepper flakes to your liking. I like mine with a good kick, but you do you.
4. In a large bowl, gently toss the rocket, watermelon radish slices, and watermelon cubes together. Be careful not to bruise the rocket.
5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Start with about half of the dressing and toss gently. Add more dressing to taste. You don't want the salad swimming in dressing.
6. Garnish with a few extra red pepper flakes and a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the rocket will wilt if it sits for too long.
7. And *that's* it! Seriously, how easy was that? This salad is all about the fresh ingredients and the balance of flavors. The peppery rocket, the sweet watermelon, the slightly bitter radish, and that spicy dressing... pure magic!
