This salad is a quadruple-threat of refreshment with each of its four main elements — watermelon, cucumber, ginger and mint — offering a burst of lively, quenching flavor. It pairs especially well with a grilled protein slathered in barbecue sauce, because its flavors echo the sauce’s sweet-fruity-savory elements while offering a welcomed, contrasting cool.
