For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the watermelon cubes before adding them to the salad. Grill marks add a smoky sweetness. If you don't have pine nuts, slivered almonds or chopped pistachios make great substitutes. Feel free to adjust the amount of red onion to your liking. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the sliced red onion in ice water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. For a more substantial salad, add grilled chicken or shrimp.
