What a great salad and so refreshing. Measurement-wise, I used 900 grams of watermelon cubes, 1/4 of a small white onion and 1/4 teaspoon of dried mint -- no fresh on hand. I may sprinkle over a couple of teaspoons of balsamic vinegar before it goes to the dinner table. Made and reviewed for Pick a Chef in April 2007. -
if you use an orange, peeled and cubed instead of watermelon..just as nice

I was shown how to make this by an Italian neighbours grandma around about 1980, she used thinly sliced white onions and a really good splash of French dressing. Was even better the next day, slightly pickled. I’m salivating!

I am Australian and I come from a long line of cooks. I have recipies from 5 generations, some families pass down the family bible, so do we, but our bible is a cook-book.
The recipies I enjoy are quick, easy, cheap, healthy and most of all, delicious.
Definately pukka tucker.
