Berry Watermelon Salad

What do you do when you have a fridge full of produce and you’re leaving for two weeks vacation? You attempt to eat it all in three days. I still can’t figure out why I thought it was a good idea to buy a giant watermelon the week before would be leaving for Canada, especially with the outrageous amounts of berries we already had. So I cut it all up and threw it into a bowl in hopes that we would eat it before we left.

I know this isn’t a new idea. It’s probably be done a million times before, by countless other cooks and bloggers, but I loved it so much, I just had to share. If not just to spark the idea in your heads and remind you of it. This berry watermelon salad is perfect for the Fourth of July – the pops of blue and red just scream patriotism.

I used half of a watermelon for the recipe, but obviously, you can decide how much to put it based on the size of your watermelon. Ours was huge, so I didn’t want to over do it. As for the sugar, you can put as much as you want. Our watermelon was super sweet already so I added just a little encourage the berries to make a little juice. Use your judgment. You can’t mess it up.
