I’ve been impatiently waiting for watermelons to come into season since like March. We had a hint of a few warm days back then that made me start thinking about spring and summer and all of the wonderful produce that is offered. Of course, the cold weather came back and hung on like a toddler in the middle of a tantrum for quite too long, but the warm weather is finally here and watermelon is in season enough that I’ve been buying it every week.

 

 
 
I popped into the grocery store down the street the other weekend for a tomato and saw that they had seedless watermelon for 48 CENTS A POUND! I snatched up half a melon and hurried home to get it sliced up. As I was cutting it up, a thought crossed my mind. “I wonder if I could make a salad with watermelon and share it as part of the BBQWeek recipes.”
 
 
I typed in “watermelon salad” into Pinterest and first saw an image showing watermelon with cucumber and jalapeno. I didn’t even bother to open up the recipe and check out the ingredients, I had all of those on hand and thought I should make my own version.
