Basil Watermelon & Cucumber Salad

This light, easy, and healthy salad is perfect for a hot summer day.  The flavors come together amazingly.  It is a hit with both adults and kids alike! I like to refrigerate it and serve it very cold.  It is dairy and gluten free.



Serves 8

Ingredients:
4-5 Cups seeded watermelon, cubed (or 1/2 a medium sized watermelon)
2 English cucumbers, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced
6 Green onions, chopped
1/2 Cup fresh basil (or mint), chopped
1/8 Cup olive oil
1/8 Cup balsamic vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste

In a large bowl combine the watermelon, cucumbers, onion, and basil.  In a small bowl whisk the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.  Pour over watermelon mixture (you may not need to use all of it) and toss until coated.  Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 day.
