TANGY WATERMELON SALAD

Tangy Watermelon Salad image

The refreshing blend of watermelon, red onions and a splash of citrus always does me proud at picnics and potlucks. I like to prepare it a day ahead so the flavors have a chance to blend, and I use the rind as a colorful serving bowl. If you're short on time, simply substitute any bottled citrus vinaigrette. -Alisha Duncan, Blanchard, Oklahoma
