This was lovely! I substituted the olive oil for the white cooking wine I cooked the shrimp in, and it still turned out great. This is the perfect blend. I will probably be eating this on a weekly basis!

This is indeed lovely and refreshing! Great for summer, and so quick and easy to make. The watermelon created a really nice dressing for the salad. I had this with some crusty bread that I baked in the oven with some shredded Gruyere cheese on top.
