Watermelon Salad

I am so excited.  I am playing for the first time the Picnic Game.  This is a virtual picnic that is hosted by my blogging friend Louise, author of the blog "Months of Edible Celebrations."  A link to her blog  is below.      

The way you play the game is by picking a letter of the alphabet and making a dish that begins with the letter you chose.  I picked the letter "W".  I am going to make a Watermelon Salad for the picnic.  A picnic isn't a picnic with out some watermelon during the summer.

I love this salad.  The taste is so summery and refreshing and the mint adds an extra coolness to the salad.

What I sometimes do when I am taking this salad to a real picnic - is assemble the salad there.  It gets soggy if it sits around for hours.
