I became so addicted to this combination, I (gasp) purchased a watermelon in February just to have the salad. It does not maintain structural integrity very well but it is still a delight.
Since I didn't have white wine vinegar I substituted balsamic vinegar...yummmmm!
i used a spring mix of greens for the lettuce, tasted pretty good. it surprised me-lettuce and watermelon? was at hit at my "guinea pig" dinner. i've been making the family try recipes i find here. this one is a keeper for my family.
just remembered - don't toss too early - toss at last minute or it gets too watery. Doesn't really keep well in my opinion, but it's very good.
I love this. Easy and so refreshing! I love the sweet with the salty/spicy.
This was okay. Everyone who tried it said they liked it, and it was certainly unusual. I don't know that I will ever suffer from a serious craving for it, but I'd eat it if the opportunity arose. Probably won't make it myself unless I have all the ingredients handy
Love this dish. Very easy to make. Nutrtitious and a hit for all.
