How to Make Watermelon Salad

When we think of Watermelon, we tend to think of it as a refreshing summer fruit, rather than a side salad that can be part of a meal. Watermelon is a versatile fruit which can take the place of a vegetable in a salad. This is an unusual salad, but it is unusually good.
