Watermelon Corn Salad


On hot summer days, this is the perfect summer salad. These fresh ingredients are hydrating and high in antioxidants. It is simple and requires minimal cooking. It is great for potlucks and BBQs, is gluten-free and vegan. It has been a summer staple in our house for years.


Our CSA recently gave us two watermelons, both a traditional watermelon and a Yellow Crimson watermelon. While both watermelons had seeds I still used them to make the salad. I was curious how the Yellow Crimson would taste in one of our favorite summer salads (amazing btw!). In the past, I have always made this salad with seedless watermelon and would recommend doing that. Taking seeds out of your mouth isn't ideal. No need to find a Yellow Crimson for this recipe, a traditional watermelon from your closest grocery store is all you need.
