So I knew I had seen something about a watermelon salad, and went looking for it; I discovered most such recipes utilized watermelon radishes, which are neato and all that, but not what I wanted.
And then I found it.
A recipe for Watermelon, Cucumber and Radish Salad.
Chunk up a couple cups of watermelon in bite-sized pieces, same for the cucumber (I use my Lemon Cucumbers from my garden) and slice up a few radishes. The dressing is lime juice and honey, in a well-balanced sweet-tart ratio, and a couple recipes said you can throw in some mint, too.
Oh
My
Goodness!
It's an AMAZING salad- everyone really must try it! It is delicious!
Also, I am down here where I can see Mexico from my house, and many folks here will added finely chopped cucumber to their pico/salsa. Works- doesn't interfere with the flavors and adds yet some more cool crunch. You could do worse.
The Germans like to thinly slice cukes and mix them into a salted yogurt with paper-thin onion shreds and lots of dill- let it sit for a couple of hours. It is tasty, too.
Cukes are an excellent palate cleanser, also. If you've had a heavily spiced course and want to clear up your palate, eat a few slices of cucumber. Works like a champ.
