I’ve never been a huge watermelon fan, that is at least, not a fan of chunks of watermelon eaten out of hand, but since I discovered watermelon salads I’ve realized what I’ve been missing! Watermelon chunks combined with herbs and another crunchy vegetable like cucumbers makes such a refreshing side dish. This is one of my favorite summer salads for a number of reasons: It can be assembled in advance, and because it has no greens it won’t get soggy at your potlucks. Also, the cool, crispy crunch of the fruit is just the perfect antidote to a hot summer day. It may seem like an odd combination, but trust me, it’s worth a try!
