A sweet salad that tastes like sunshine and summertime in every bite.

Watermelon & Corn Salad Recipe

This salad tastes like your mouth is on vacation. It's like summer in a salad! If you know me, you know I am not a fruit salad person—I like my salads green, crunchy, and garlicky. But friends, this salad just might be the exception, especially in summer. I cut the watermelons to be about the same size as the corn kernels so each and every bite has all of the flavors mixed in. Now this is a sweet, juicy salad I can get behind.
