I cannot believe how much we loved this salad. Healthy, quick, so fresh and fantastic! I didn't have a jalapeno on hand and didn't add the pickled ginger, but it came out great. DH can't wait to have it again.Thanks so much for posting this delicious recipe.

WOW this was delightful! Even though summer is over, it made a nice cool salad to accompany our soup tonight. I used fresh basil and included the pickled ginger. As Rita suggests, the addition of the ginger is oh so YUMMY! This salad is wonderfully cool with a touch of heat. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the dressing!

Oh Rita you did it again! I was looking for a watermelon salad and chose yours because of previous recipes I have used by you..... Amazing! I copied it to a T and only used cilantro. Excellent like always!
