I love the Epicurious app and I use it all the time for workweek meal inspiration or dinner parties. I found this other, more basic watermelon salad recipe for a Labor Day party a while ago. It was a hit at the BBQ, but after a while, I changed it up and started making this Vietnamese watermelon salad. It's unreal. It takes only about ten minutes, the chopping is the main event — I don't measure anything —then just toss to combine. —Morgan Morillo, 28, New York Times media planner, New York City
