When I came across this quick and light recipe on your site, I thought it was quite unusual but very creative! It really puts me in the summer mood. If watermelon is a little too weird for you, fresh cubed pineapple would be amazing in this dish in it's place. I love the refreshingly sweet watermelon, and the vibrant bright color that it brings to the dish!
