For as long as I can remember, watermelon has been a staple of my summers. The best way to choose the perfect watermelon? Make sure that is doesn’t have any blemishes or soft spots. It should also be symmetrical and heavy for its size. This salad is fresh and cooling on hot summer days. It is easy to make and a great dish to for your next BBQ or picnic. I like to sprinkle hemp hearts on top as well. They give the salad a nice nutty taste and are packed with healthy fats!
