Cucumber Watermelon Mint Salad

When you have a lot of watermelon around, this is the perfect salad to make! Sure, you could just serve watermelon slices and be done with it- but the combo of flavours here reallllly elevates the watermelon experience, in my opinion

Serve this alongside with a classic barbecue meal like chicken skewers and corn to balance the warm savoury dishes with some freshness. This recipe is also very hydrating- definitely a bonus on warm summer days.
