Sugar is a more economical sweetener.

Cut the watermelon in half and remove the rind, then cube the flesh into bite-sized pieces until you have about 6 cups.

Slice the white parts of 2 green onions finely, reserving the green parts for garnish.

Put on gloves and slice 1 medium jalapeno using a mandolin slicer, removing the seeds beforehand.

In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup lime juice, the white parts of the green onions, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Add the sliced jalapenos to the dressing mixture and mix well.

Transfer the cubed watermelon to a larger bowl and pour the dressing mixture over it, gently tossing to coat the watermelon without breaking it.

Chop cilantro or basil for garnish and sprinkle it over the salad before serving.
