I absolutely love summer salads and grilled seafood lunches! A few of my other favorites are Chicken Waldorf Salad, Ahi Tuna Watermelon Salad, and Grilled Peach and Watermelon Burrata Salad.

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you, it’s so good I plan on making it again for dinner tonight so my husband gets to try it. I put this together in about 20 minutes, so it’s perfect for busy weeknights. The dressing is DEE-LICIOUS, I used DeLallo’s golden balsamic vinegar, which is made from white grapes rather than red and has a sweetly rich taste – it’s fabulous! They sell it at my local supermarket, or you can buy it online, but if you want to use regular balsamic, that would work fine too.

I love watermelon in my salad, mostly because I’m not much of a tomato lover. Inspired by lunch from Marcus Samuelsson’s restaurant Uptown Brasserie located at the JFK Delta terminal 4. Eating healthier while traveling is getting so much easier these days, a good thing although they also have a Shake Shack which after seeing the calories on the menu, I opted not to try.

Hope you enjoy this salad, I’ll be making this one all summer!

    made this for father, son, and husband, all skeptics. I said I have never made anything from Gina's cookbook or website that wasn't delicious…. they loved it…..and I am making it again tonight!

  6. Gina, I made this tonight and the whole family loved it! From the mouth of my 8 year old daughter, "Mama, the watermelon just takes it to a whole 'nother level!" 🙂

  7. Made this tonight and it was a HUGE hit! We will def be making this all summer long! I encourage anyone to make this salad. The ingredients go so well together, I literally cleaned my plate!

    One slight thing, I added everything up and came up with 7 PP per serving. Anyone else?

  8. The 293 calories (and other indications) correspond for 1 serving or for 100grammes (3.5 oz) ?

    Thank you for all of your recipes, they are very useful for me 🙂
