    The recipe was good, but the video was the most slow, most boring clip I have seen in a while. Please, do not drag out something so simple.

    I have been making a variation of this salad for several years. My printed recipe "card" is dated 2006. It was Giada's recipe but without any basil. Also, as one person mentioned the simple syrup recipe included in 2006 called for 1/2 cup water and 1 cup sugar. I am a watermelon fanatic and wanted to find a recipe for all my mint. This was a perfect way; you will love this recipe.

    I'm looking for a way to salvage some perfectly-adequate but not really summer-delicious melon from the Farmer's Market.Do fans of this recipe think it would be tasty even if the fruit wasn't at its peak?

    (I haven't tried it. but 0 stars seemed really unfair, so I just went with the average

    I can't beleive how wonderful this was. I wasn't sure about the basil so I added just half of it. I loved the salad. I couldn't stop eating it. The next time I made it (few days later I made it as it was written.....little to much basil for me. So just try it different ways and to your liking. I will always make this. Great for summer.

    Giada,
    I am a chocolatier in Wisconsin and own my own business. In the summer we make Gelato and Sorbettos. When I saw this recipe I immediately thought Gelato! It made the MOST fantastic Sorbetto! It is FLYING out of my shop. How refreshing! is the comment I hear the most. Thank you for the idea. I am going to make it into a gelato next by adding milk. www.obsessionchocolates.com. I have made many other recipes into chocolates too.
