MARINATED WATERMELON SALAD WITH SPICY CHIPOTLE-LIME VINAIGRETTE
This is one of those salads that the longer it sits, the better it gets. The heat from the chipotle chili powder is tamed by the juicy watermelon, sweet mango and crisp cucumber.

Steps:
- Cut a hole in the top of the watermelon, wide and deep enough to insert a funnel.
- Pour as much vodka through the funnel as can be absorbed (1/2 cup to 1 cup), remove the funnel and replace the watermelon plug, Let sit for 4 hours and again, pour is as much vodka as can be absorbed, Repeat the process until all the vodka has been absorbed, (eventually all the vodka WILL be absorbed).
- Refrigerate and serve well chilled.
- When it's time slice it up and enjoy.
- NOTES: You can also use a food injector, this works well or you can cut a hole big enough to hold the neck of a fifth of vodka, allow it to sit 6-12 hours, 24 being better, serve with the bottle sticking out of the watermelon, You can experiment with liquors, I have heard rum works well too.

SPIKED WATERMELON SALAD
This is a super recipe that's easy to make, better to eat, and hopefully will be long remembered! You can leave out the booze, but then you'd be stuck with a watermelon!You may want to try one of the yellow melons;I have not tried them as of yet. It's great for parties, picnics, you name its! Just make sure you have an assigned driver, and they can have a "go-box" to eat when they get home. You will get about 16 cups from an 8-pound melon.
