Watermelon is one of our favorite fruits at this time of the year and we love to eat it as both a sweet and savory dish.  It’s great diced with thin slices of red onion and sea salt as a salad, and I just found this Thai take on it from a wonderful Australian TV show called Poh’s Kitchen that I wanted to share.  Quick, easy and delicious! Enjoy!
