Watermelon and Cucumber Salad

Submitted by ladypit

"I have been on a watermelon kick lately so when I saw this in a weight loss magazine I knew it was one I wanted to try. Each 1 cup serving is 1 WW point and this is also a core recipe. The original recipe calls for seedless cucumbers. I'm not someone who is bothered by cucumber seeds in things but if you are, use a seedless kind. Cook time is stand time."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 4 cups

ingredients

• 3 cups seedless watermelon, chunked
• 2 cucumbers, sliced
• 1 jalapeno pepper
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Seed and chop the jalapeno pepper (using gloves so as not to get the oil on your hands).
2. Mix the watermelon, cucumbers, and jalapeno together.
3. Add vinegar and salt and mix well.
4. Let stand at least 15 minutes for the flavors to blend.

I added feta to this salad so it was a bit of a hybrid of the two first watermelon salads on Food.com. Delish! Great way to serve the flavors of summer!

This is a real winner. Does not even need the jalapeno. Amazing what the red wine vinegar does to the flavor.

WOW! Strange combination that turns into a yummy salad that has your taste buds dancing! Delicious last night and the left overs today are still just as good or even better. So fresh and light! I made the recipe as is except adding just a touch more watermelon and mincing the jalapeno fine. Thanks for sharing.

I added thin sliced red onion and lime juice... and it was awesome!! A nice refreshing change from heavier side dishes at a cookout. Thanks for the recipe!

Holy Deliciousness! I love watermelon and cucumber, but wasn't sure this would be a "wow me" dish. Well, it totally WAS a wow me dish! In fact, the entire household loved it. I made it to have with dinner and after dinner, made another one to have the next day! The sweetness of the watermelon with the tang of red wine vinegar and the most subtle hint of jalapeno made this a flavor-filled winner! Thanks for the recipe!
