Brian mentioned that watermelon is not only in season right now, but it's insane. We think he means insanely abundant and tasty. I'll admit to not eating much watermelon, but when we did order this, it exceed our expectations.

To plate – arrange the cubes on a platter and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and virgin olive oil.
