  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 (5-pound) yellow or red seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 8 cups)

Directions

Fill a medium bowl with ice water. Submerge onion in ice water, and let stand 10 minutes. Drain and pat onion dry.

Meanwhile, stir together yogurt, chopped lemon herbs, honey, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until blended; set aside.

Gently fold together watermelon, cantaloupe, garlic oil, chile, remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and remaining 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl.
