Mexican Watermelon Salad

Watermelon was made for hot summers. It’s perfect for picnics and snatched moments in the shade. But here at the Ultimate Paleo Guide, we like to take things to the next level, which is why we’ve created the Mexican Watermelon Salad. This salad is just as refreshing as plain old watermelon but it packs a punch, thanks to the spices. A treat for the tastebuds!
