Watermelon Cucumber Salad


Okay, it may sound kinda weird.  But I was searching for another use for watermelon, and was needing a dessert for my book club.  So I made this salad, with my own tweaks, of course.  And it was great!  A refreshing dessert, and then a yummy side with anything grilled.  Try it, you will love it!  It was quite the hit at my friend Lorena's baby shower earlier this month!  You could also add some cherry tomatoes and/or goat cheese...yum!

Ingredients
4 cups watermelon, cubed
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded (if you wish) and cubed
juice of 1 lime (more or less to taste)
1 tbsp fresh basil (or mint), chopped

  1. Combine first 3 ingredients and allow to marinate together at least 1 hour in the fridge.
  2. Add basil, mix and serve!
