Watermelon Salad

This is one of my hands down favorite salads to make in the summer. As long as the watermelon is fresh and sweet, this salad will be amazing. It's simple to make, definitely fancy enough to use for a summertime dinner with guests, and pairs well with most fruity white wines too.

We love this one for lunch after a long morning at the pool, because it's so satisfying but doesn't leave you feeling super full or icky. 

It's also one of those salads that will hold well overnight as long as it doesn't have the dressing on it. My husband has taken it multiple times for leftovers at work, and the salad maintains its crispness.
