Instructions
 For the spiced sunflower seeds
  1. Use a few drops of water to lightly wet the raw sunflower seeds and spread them out on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the spices and salt on the seeds and place in the oven at 325°F oven for ~10 minutes. Let cool.
For the dressing
  1. Whisk together vinegar, green onion, and sugar. Slowly drizzle in olive oil, continuing to whisk. Add salt and pepper to taste.
For the salad
  1. In a bowl, coat the watermelon with lime juice, then combine all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add dressing as desired (you will probably have dressing left over). Store leftover dressing in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
