Watermelon salad recipe

BF and I tried a new salad last night that I thought I would share with you. I would highly recommend it. Watermelon and goat cheese might not sound like a good combination, but it was delicious. I didn't use the hazelnuts as I don't eat a lot of nuts and I used romaine lettuce instead of watercress (still getting used to the new grocery store). If watermelon is not your thing, the citrus vinagrette dressing was very tasty and could be used with a different salad.
