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

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
