Mediterranean Watermelon Salad

I saw this on Gaby's blog the other day, and it looked like such a refreshing salad that I just had to try it. I'm so glad I did! It's really refreshing and the flavor combination really works. I had some mint in my garden and some leftover dill, so I didn't have to get too much from the store. It's sweet and tangy and I love the bite from the red onion. This is a great summer salad!
