This warm watermelon salad recipe is a personal summer favorite! Cool watermelon spiced up just a bit. A quick, light take on a traditional summer staple. When feeling adventurous, I love to replace parsley with mint for a fresh kick.

I made this chicken salad with eggs while looking for a dish with lots of protein and no sweet stuff. It disappears pretty quickly. Chop chicken into smaller bits to serve on crackers at parties.
