Notes
- Chill the watermelon for several hours before serving for the best flavor.
- Add the Tajín just before serving so it stays vibrant and doesn’t draw too much moisture from the fruit.
- Watermelon spears are easier to grab and eat at cookouts, picnics, and pool parties than cubes.
- Adjust the amount of Tajín to your taste. Some people prefer just a light dusting, while others like more heat.
