Watermelon Salad

Does watermelon and onions in the same dish sound a little unusual? Take our word for it, the combination is wonderful! This recipe was created by Jean-Marc Fullsack, chef for Dr. Dean Ornish's lifestyle-change program.

3 cups seedless watermelon cubes
¹/₄ cup finely chopped red onion, rinsed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, or 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
¹/₄ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a salad bowl and toss to mix. If possible, chill before serving.
