This is very good. The flavors are spot on. Just make sure you use a good quality balsamic that isn’t too old!! I have added a few fresh herbs from my garden on occasion for a different twist. Either way, a lovely way to bring some fresh juicy flavors to any meal of the day!
I think this was just okay. I had half of a watermelon in the fridge and this was a simple enough salad to make for lunch. I made this subbing 1/2 packet of Stevia for the Sweet ‘n Low. I followed the rest of the recipe, as listed, reducing by one half. I think next time I will try the salad with less balsamic vinegar, or by subbing apple cider vinegar. I had to add quite a bit of salt to my serving to enhance the flavor. Overall, it was a refreshing change from the usual tomato-cucumber-onion salad.
Loved it.
Really good!! I added cilantro and little lime juice and it was amazing, my kids love it.
Yummy! I substituted red onion and omitted the sugar
I haven’t made this but my friend did and it was AWESOME!! Don’t let the watermelon/tomato/onion combo discourage you, it’s sooo good!!
