“This sounded like a nice, summer salad that was really different. We LOVED it! ”
-San Diego, CA

Really enjoyed this. I didn’t have watercress, so I made it with romaine- the staple green in our household. It still worked, although I can see how the slightly bitter watercress would complement the watermelon’s sweetness nicely. I’m sure I’ll make it again, and I was thinking that, if I use mild greens, adding very thin slices of red onion would perhaps add that zing. The only critique I have of the recipe is that it would be more helpful if you specify the size of each watermelon slice. But I loved it and I’m happy I found it!
