This salad is the perfect summer dish. It’s light, refreshing, and pretty filling. It’s a Giada recipe, (love her), and it’s perfect as is. I wanted to make it a meal salad, so I added thick cut applewood smoked bacon, which complemented it nicely. Enjoy!

Start with cubed watermelon, and cherry tomatoes…

…then add basil, I went a little basil-crazy here, but it’s so good.

Finish it off with some chopped bacon, balsamic glaze, olive oil and salt and pepper.
