This recipe seemed different and a little offbeat. So I snuck them in with other, more typical appetizer fare and our guests loved them! The lightly sweet watermelon juice keeps the meats from tasting too salty. Just be sure you don't get watermelon that is too ripe, or it won't slice into the kind of neat, solid cubes that are required.

We didn't salt the crab the first go-around but the salt made all the difference. You could blend the crab with something else but personally I don't think it needs to be that complex. The watermelon changes texture dramatically when cooked - even non-watermelon eaters enjoyed it!
