This salad is a great way to use up leftover watermelon. I always have a bunch of watermelon left over after a party or picnic, and this is the perfect way to use it up.

This salad is a great make-ahead salad. You can make it a few hours ahead of time and it will still be delicious.

I was hesitant to try this salad because I'm not a big fan of watermelon. But I'm so glad I did! The dressing is amazing and it really brings out the flavor of the watermelon.
