     I made this with lots of fresh mint, some in the dressing and some in the salad, instead of cilantro or parsley. Really delicious and refreshing on a very hot day. - 6/22/12

     I made this last night for my "day of retirement cocktail hour". I added about 1/3 cup of lite sour cream to increase the creaminess. It tasted great and everyone praised it (none had ever thought about watermelon in a salad before). Will make again and again.

     Wow, what a wonderful mix of tastes. This is delicious! I added some chopped basil to the recipe as we have tons of it and I love it. Yum! - 6/9/12

     What a unique and refreshing salad this is--and a calorie bargain, too. Made it exactly as directed, except used only a quarter of a red onion because that was all I had in the house. Interesting flavor combinations; watermelon becomes less fruit-like and more vegetable-like. Yum. Will make again. - 6/21/12

     I added chunks of roast cold chicken and it was DELICIOUS! - 5/29/12

     It was just ok, would make again. Didn't care for the dressing at all. I prefer my own watermelon salad. I mix watermelon, few pistachios over arugula. lighter dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, blood orange vinegar, couple DROPS of agave, salt and pepper, micro-cilantro optional. - 6/21/12

     This was really tasty and may have reawakened my love for watermelon. - 5/30/12

     I've never had watermelon as a main dish; what a clever idea!

    One of the many things that's so good about watermelon is that, in HOT and HUMID weather it helps keep you hydrated - 5/28/12

     GROSS! What a complete waste of money on these ingredients. I made this as a main dish salad for me and my husband. It's now in the trash and a Kashi pizza is in the oven. I followed the directions exactly using cilantro and added olives as the Tip suggested. - 6/4/13

     I used cantaloupe and a kiwi, no water melon they are too big to keep for just 2 of us. I loved it though. I omitted the Cilantro, I added Maple pepper instead, it worked well, - 5/28/13

     Will try. May not use the onions. - 7/20/12

     Hard to believe these ingredients go so well together but they do! I made some minor adjustments-used the entire 5 oz container of Greek yogurt and added 1 Tbl of honey to the dressing and I cheated, was out of fresh cilantro so used 1-2 Tbl of the refrigerated tube. The celery makes the dish! - 5/29/12

     PLEASE DON'T COMMENT UNLESS YOU've tried it? otherwise your comments are not informative. I tried itvand it was good. For us there was a bit too much cilantro,but the texture was great and it's nice to have a recipe that uses watermelon as a main ingredient. Thanks. - 5/28/12
  • LOVELYLINDA491

  • MRYTYLER
     I did not have any cilantro or parsley from the garden but I do have basil that I put in it. Took it to a pot luck and was asked for the recipe several times. - 6/22/13

     Simple and quick to make. Used parsley and a touch of dill. No feta on hand so I used goat cheese. Wonderful summer dish. Thanks!!! - 8/7/12
  • ENITRUTH
     Tasted okay. Steamed my onions and let it cool before adding. Great variety for me rather than plain watermelon. May add a little honey next time if watermelon is not sweet. - 7/30/12
