WATERMELON CUCUMBER SALAD
All of my friends loved this tasty, refreshing watermelon salad, so I thought I would add it as my first Allrecipes recipe. It was inspired by another recipe on here, but strayed far enough from the original that I thought it deserved its own recipe. Enjoy.

- To make a vegan version of this salad, use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey.
- For a spicier salad, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the dressing.
