Summer time ...Watermelon Poppy Seed Salad

 
Nothin' says summer like watermelon!

I had to buy one for Labor Day...and had quite a bit left over, which is a good thing. I love watermelon and it tastes awesome in this salad. The poppy seed dressing really brings out the flavor of the melon.

There's a lot of textures going on in this salad....crisp lettuce, soft juicy watermelon, and crunchy almonds on on top. It's perfect for summer, so refreshing, light and delicious!
