Puree the watermelon in a blender until it's completely smooth. You want no chunks left.
Once pureed, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any seeds, pressing down firmly to extract as much liquid as you can. Set this strained puree aside.
In a small pan, gently heat the 2 tablespoons of currant jelly until it just melts into a liquid. Take it off the heat and let it cool completely before moving on.
Once cooled, whisk in the strained watermelon puree, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic pepper until everything is well combined. Chill the vinaigrette until you're ready to serve; this gives the ingredients time to come together.
