Watermelon & Cucumber Salad

Yes, another melon salad recipe! Aka: the only thing I want to eat when it’s this hot outside. This is truly on repeat in our house throughout the summer months. It’s cool, light, healthy, and hydrating. It comes together in a snap and is endlessly adaptable.

Do you have tomatoes coming out of your ears in the garden? Toss them in! Love red onions? Thinly slice them and toss them in! Want some protein in there? Add a can of white beans! You get the idea…I hope you enjoy!
