• Watermelon

• English Cucumber

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS SALAD

Make sure to use a ripe tasty watermelon- when picking one at the store try to get the heaviest one for it’s size.. this is a good indicator there’s plenty of water in it.

Also you can look for the field spot on the watermelon- this is where the watermelon was resting on the ground. It should be a creamy yellowish color.

This salad is best served the day of. You could prep the ingredients and store covered in the fridge.

Then add the dressing a few hours prior to serving, refrigerate it so it’s cold and the flavors are blended.
