WATERMELON BASIL SALAD
Nothing is better than a delicious summer salad recipe…and this Watermelon Basil Salad Recipe is the perfect addition to your summer barbeques. This salad will also be a great addition to your dinner table and takes just a few minutes to make.
With just a few simple ingredients and a fresh watermelon, you can have a delicious side salad. This one is my husband’s favorite. Admittedly, the kids are not a big fan of this one. But that is okay…just means more salad for the adults!
This recipe was shared with us at a summer party we recently went to. My friend Julie shared the recipe with us after my husband couldn’t stop eating her salad.
