Summer's the perfect time to toss up this watermelon salad. You'd never expect it, but spinach is awesome here. Eat it and feel cool on even the hottest days. —Marjorie Au, Honolulu, Hawaii

Test Kitchen Tips
  • Try adding a touch of honey to the dressing if your melon isn't super sweet. It will wake it right up!
  • English cucumbers are firmer and less watery than regular cukes. To aid your preparation of this salad, halve a regular cucumber lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds before cubing.
