Watermelon, Red Onion, and Watercress Salad
"The peppery taste of the watercress makes a great balance with the watermelon. Add the onions and the pine nuts and it tastes even better by giving it an added dimension. I enjoyed this salad recently and thought I'd share it here. The best thing about this salad is that the watermelon fills you up and you don't feel hungry after. I'll be making this often especially now (June) and through late August when watermelons are at their best and available without breaking the bank."

I will now be interacting on recipezazz where there are cooking games and forums and where eventually I will be posting my recipes.?</p>
