Watermelon Salad

A summer picnic or barbeque wouldn’t be complete without sweet, refreshing watermelon. Give it a different spin with this easy make-ahead side dish. To pick a good melon, choose one that is free from bruises, cuts, or dents. Pick it up. It should be heavy for its size. Turn it over. The underside should have a creamy yellow spot where it sat on the ground and ripened.
