  • 3 cups seedless watermelon balls or small chunks
  • 2 English cucumbers, peeled, seeded and sliced

Preparation:
Mix together the vinegar, water, sugar (adjusting as desired) and poppy seeds in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in the chopped scallions. Place the watermelon and cucumber in a serving bowl and pour the marinade over the top.

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving. Toss gently. Serves 8 to 10.
