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.

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.

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
