Watermelon Salad

This recipe hails from the Newlywed cookbook and this one caught my eye w/ its' use of summer produce!

I will make substitutions on cooking recipes for whatever I have in the house to make sure that I am using the produce quick enough. I used romaine lettuce, since that is what I had on hand, but the recipe calls for a more bitter lettuce like arugula and I do think it would have been great with it too.

Verdict--would make this again for a nice summer meal to accompany any grilled meats. The dish is best served icy cold from the fridge.
