Refrigerate the salad for up to two days, but for the best flavor and texture, it&#8217;s recommended to enjoy it within 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make watermelon cucumber salad ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can make cucumber watermelon salad in advance, but it\u2019s best to prep and store the components separately. Combine the watermelon, cucumber, green onions and mint in one container, and keep the dressing and herbs in another. When you&#8217;re ready to serve, toss everything together to ensure the salad stays fresh and crisp.<\/p>\n<h2>Cucumber Watermelon Salad Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2042728\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cucumber-Watermelon-salad_TOHD24_48297_DianaRattray_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A large serving bowl with cucumber watermelon salad, from a recipe by Taste Recipes.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Rattray for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What are some other dishes that pair well with cucumber and watermelon salad?<\/h3>\n<p>Consider serving this salad alongside grilled chicken or fish for a balanced and refreshing meal. A simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/quinoa-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/quinoa-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">quinoa salad<\/a>, crusty bread or a platter of fresh veggies with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-hummus\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-hummus\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">hummus<\/a> would also complement the bright, summery flavors of this dish.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you choose the best watermelon for this salad?<\/h3>\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-tell-if-watermelon-is-ripe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-tell-if-watermelon-is-ripe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">choose the best watermelon<\/a>, look for one that feels heavy for its size and has a yellow spot on one side, indicating that it\u2019s ripe. The rind should be firm, with a deep green color, and when tapped, the melon should produce a hollow sound.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use regular cucumbers instead of English cucumbers?<\/h3>\n<p>You can use regular cucumbers, but be sure to peel them and remove the seeds to avoid any bitterness. English cucumbers are often preferred because they have thinner skins and fewer seeds, making them easier to use in salads.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you keep the salad from becoming watery?<\/h3>\n<p>To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, consider salting the cucumbers and watermelon lightly and letting them drain in a colander for 15 to 20 minutes before combining them with the other ingredients. This will help draw out excess moisture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Refreshing cucumber watermelon salad combines crisp cucumbers, juicy watermelon, fresh herbs and a tangy
