Galilee Green Summer Watermelon Salad

Summertime in Israel is all about the watermelons. Along many highways you’ll see watermelon stands selling this delicious and much loved fruit.

In Yavne’el and many other towns a truck loaded with watermelons drives through the streets and on a loudspeaker announces that the watermelon is for sale “AL Hasakin” ( על הסכין ) or “On the Knife”.

This means that the vendor will cut a square of watermelon for you to taste before you decide if that particular one is good enough to bring home.

It is so worth it!
