Katie Hason says:

So many flavors in this dish, very delicious! The balsamic reduction was absolutely my favorite part. Even though this is considered a summer salad, I enjoy it when the weather cools down too.

Sam Dalton says:

Watermelon and greens may seem like an unlikely pair, but it actually tastes really good together. The balsamic reduction was really easy to prepare, and was a little sweet thanks to the honey. Overall I really enjoyed this salad.

Sheila Long says:

Perfect recipe for hosting! I skipped the greens and just served the watermelon, tomato, and mozzarella cheese with flatbread on the side.

Jeremy Hughes says:

Made this dish for a beach picnic I took my wife on. It was really fresh and delicious. I also paired it with boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast to tie it all together. Very good..

Steven Gomes says:

Left out watermelon and served tomato and mozzarella cheese on a bed of arugula. The balsamic reduction is my favorite. Especially with the honey. Great for entertaining in the summer.
