Even though it's Independence Day here in the US, and it'd be traditional to do some outdoor grilling, it's 101ºF and entirely too hot for anything off a grill.

With that in mind, we thought we'd start with a couple of Mojitos and this tasty watermelon salad. Not a serious photo... I just grabbed the camera & shot.

Incidentally... that's chèvre cheese and crushed pistachios with a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Yes... it was tasty! :D
 
Colours seem a bit heavy for such a light fruit as the watermelon, and for such a light meal like a salad.

Sounds tasty though.

The watermelon was fairly rich in color, but the color is natural (unless they're doing something to the food on me that I don't know about.)

I only applied two adjustments... white balance (since I hadn't really intended to photograph this, it was taken under incandescent light and had quite a yellow cast to it) and I "dodged" some of the shadows since I didn't position any lighting (all I had was the basic overhead room light.)

No saturation or color adjustments were done.

I've never had this before -- it was something my other half had remembered (he probably had something similar at a restaurant.)

Thanks for the comments Mike & GG!
