Watermelon. There is nothing better.I love it so much. It might be a big part of the reason that summer is my favorite season.
I discovered a yellow watermelon and decided to try it in this salad, along with a red one.
I found the recipe in The Food Network Magazine and thought it would be a beautiful + delicious side dish to round out our Father's Day feast.
I really like the ingredients in this salad. Watermelon, cucumber, cashews, feta, lemon juice, mint. They all come together and make a very tasty combination. The sweetness of the watermelon is balanced by the crunch and salty flavors that the other ingredients add.
Other family members weren't so sure about this salad. Some people in my family are a little bit fussy about mixing certain foods, but everyone gave it a try and it was victorious in a couple of mouths.
I was fine with it not being the most popular dish of the day because that just meant that I got to enjoy the leftovers a different day.
