Cilantro Watermelon Salad

This is by far the most refreshing mix of summer flavors you'll ever experience. The crispness of the watermelon, combined with the richness of the fig vinegar, balanced with the sharpness of the cilantro make for one amazing culinary treat!

If you need to make this in advance, prepare all your ingredients, but don't combine until just before serving. Once the vinegar hits the watermelon, it starts a pickling process.

1/2 of a watermelon, cut into 1" or smaller pieces and seeds removed (seedless watermelons are easiest)
1 cup of Fig Infused White Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 Tsp Salt
1 bunch of minced cilantro leaves with stems removed.

Put the chopped watermelon in a bowl.

Combine the vinegar, brown sugar, and salt and mix well.

Pour the vinegar mixture over the watermelon.

Sprinkle the cilantro over the watermelon, and then mix well.
