Do you ever make a watermelon salad?

I am using watermelon lately a lot as a salad.

It is both refreshing, tasty, and healthy.

Oddly enough, I always thought it was high in calories but it is not.

I love the taste of the sweet watermelon mixed with the savoury onions and feta and many other things you can add for a salad like this, and makes a great change from vegetables.

I have never tried watermelon salad, but what you're describing sounds pretty good, Finy.

No I never have.

Not sure because it is made up of a lot of water....if I would like the taste.
I do love it on it's own :)

jonah -try it as per the link I sent -the mixture is lovely! not sure if I sent the one where i crumbled feta in it -that went great -or even ordinary grated cheese or parmesan.

ooooh I will fink about it....LOL

Oh! jonaj, those watermelons are just sooooooo cute! lol! What a happy picture! Has made my day. Thank you!

your very welcome :)

I've only ever used watermelon in a fruit salad! But not a savoury salad. Not sure on how that would taste!

I love watermelon and I swear I think it goes with everything. Yum.

Oh no. I dislike watermelon so a definite NO. I am not averse to putting fruit in salads though. I have put mandarins into salad and it tastes lovely.

Many years back I went to a restaurant which served a delicious watermelon salad as an entree item! It was so lovely and had the saltiness of Prosciutto as well combined in with the watermelon and other ingredients! I have done similar a few times,but not overly often. It is all a matter of thinking outside the square,really!!

Yes - it's very tasty in a salad. Other fruits that work well in savoury salads are mango, pineapple, strawberries, apples and pears

No, I have never made. Besides water melon doesn't agree with me. I can't have much as it gives me bad reflux.

Nah, as way too busy slurpily eating watermelon over the sink!

It wouldn't even get to be in a bowl, let alone as a Salad! Lol!

Unfortunately I'm the only one in the family who won't eat it. I find it too sweet for me but over the years I've carved melon baskets for get-togethers with family and friends so my family haven't suffered. I often buy whole melons for family but as usual, I pass on eating them.

No - it never lasts long enough to make anything!

Watermelon is high in sugar, so I don't eat a massive amount of it. But if I'm going to have watermelon it's sliced and eaten as it is OR mixed into a cocktail with gin or vodka !

I used to make a watermelon and onion salad frequently in summer some time back. I haven't made one for quite some time but I just might now I have been reminded!!

I make a lovely watermelon salad I found on line once. It’s just watermelon, feta, & torn up mint leaves. Very nice. Place in fridge before serving, if possible.

I have never made a watermelon salad, firstly I prefer rockmelon to watermelon, secondly I have had a melon salad, and not sure what I think of it, I was brought up as having watermelon after dinner.
