Very unique and very good! Loved the blending of the balsalmic vinegar and the watermelon, what a contrast. Have made it twice already.

The only drawback to this recipe is that there are a lot of people who will look at it funny and not necessarily give it a chance. Those of us who like something a little different absolutely loved it!

Yum! I really liked this. I'm giving it a 4 because I didn't really measure any amounts and probably added less balsamic than called for. Honestly, I could probably do without the cukes and be just fine. I've had strawberries and balsamic together, but never watermelon. Thanks!

This definitely has a pickled flavor (think mini gherkins) and though it is tasty, I think it would benefit from less vinegar and sugar. Watermelon and cucumber are already naturally sweet, and the vinegar (in this amount) seems to distract from the taste rather than enhance it. Thanks for a great start, but I'll make modifications if I prepare this in the future!

Refreshing, but you have to drain it often as the salt constantly drains the water from the melon. Therefore I could hardly taste the balsamic.

I found the recipe much improved with feta cheese, green onions (instead of red) and a raspberry vinegarette instead of the salt/vinegar. I wojld rate it a 5 with these changes.

Interesting taste - not bad at all! I added rockmelon to the mix which tasted ok. I also accidentally put in ground pepper, but this couldn't really be tasted in the vinegar. Overall was quite nice to eat on a hot summer day!

This was decent and I enjoyed trying a new kind of salad. It was too salty for me and I found the vinegar overpowering, but I enjoyed the crunchy cucumbers with the watermelon. Not one I'll make again, but it's always fun to try new things!

Big hit at outdoor party! Put it together early day of, let it marinate 6 hrs. Next time will add vidalia/yellow onion to compliment the cuke. A different and great way to serve watermelon!

I really wanted to like this more than I did. I think the balsamic overwhelmed the taste of everything else and also spoiled the beautiful fresh colours. Sorry!

I love the sophisticated flavor/color combo that this salad has, which belies how easy it is to put together. I used raspberry white balsamic vinegar, which worked well.
