Just finished making this!
It was great, super easy!
The only thing I would add is to let the watermelon sit in a colander while you chop up everything else to let some of the juice drain out so it doesn’t get soop-ish.
Loved it and looking forward to making it again!
I was introduced to this salad this summer and have had it at all family gatherings…..The version I’ve tried is almost the same but uses cilantro rather than basil and mint. There are also black olives in it…..mmmmmmmmm……refreshing, tasty and guiltless!
