    So when it comes to summertime, watermelon and cookouts are just always going to be a part of that!

    Whether I'm cutting up a big juicy watermelon for a salad or this easy refreshing Watermelon Lemonade, it's pretty much a summertime staple in our house.

    And watermelon is such a great way to stay hydrated when it's hot since it's mostly water... about 92% water and low in calories.

    Watermelon Cucumber Salad is an easy side to include with your next cookout or picnic.

    INGREDIENTS FOR THIS WATERMELON SALAD RECIPE

    • Watermelon
    • English Cucumber
    • Red Onion
    • Fresh Mint
    • Dressing- lime juice, olive oil
    Cubed watermelon, sliced cucumber , red onion, and fresh mint for watermelon cucumber salad

    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.
