Our family loves to cook. We're always trying new recipes. The only problem is that when you try so many recipes, it's hard to keep track of them all! So, we're going to post and share our recipe favorites here--both old and new.

Summer Salads, Part 3
This salad isn't for everyone because some people don't like their watermelon to be messed with. I like to try new things, however, and I thought this was awesome. It is a really great mix of sweet and savory flavors, and it is very refreshing.
Minty Watermelon-Cucumber Salad
Ingredients:
8 cups cubed seedless watermelon
2 English cucumbers, halved lengthwise and sliced
6 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh mint
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine watermelon, cucumbers, green onions, and mint. In a small bowl, whisk remaining ingredients. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours before serving.
Yield: 16 servings (3/4 cup each). Each serving is 60 calories.

Notes: As I said, this salad isn't for everyone...but I really liked it!
I like this, too; but it's for a more refined palette. We just bought a big watermelon and only made some of it into this salad, so those who prefer it plain had that option. too.
