Pickled Watermelon Scallion Salad

This is going to the A Fruit A Month (AFAM) - July, hosted by Jugalbandi and originated by Maheshwari of Beyond the usual.

I know this is too late but I am sending this any way. Well the inspiration for the recipe came from here.

I made the recipe with few changes.

I used the regular vinegar as I did not have rice wine vinegar.
And I did not use Mirin, I think red wine would work just well.
I did not use the red wine either

And I also did not use the toasted sesame oil, as the flavor is too intense, I don't like it.
I used the olive oil instead, you can use the regular sesame oil, I think that would work too.
All the other ingredients are the same.
