Each bite of this salad gives you a sweet, tart, salty, refreshing combination. It reminds me of being in Portugal playing golf when our caddie came up to me and handed me a pignola right from the tree. These little pine nuts are inside the “cones” of the pignola trees and we munched on them throughout our round.

I’m finding that I can actually get pretty good watermelon year round so when it’s snowing out, we can have a little taste of summer.
