1/2 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia), cut into wedges
2 large cucumbers, peeled, sliced in half lengthwise, and seeded
1 rib celery, peeled
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 cup bottled ranch salad dressing
1 tablespoon sweet orange marmalade
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup finely diced watermelon

Cut the onion, cucumbers, and celery into very thin slices. Toss with the salt in a bowl and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the ranch dressing, marmalade, and vinegar in a serving bowl and set aside.

Drain the vegetables and rinse. Dump into a clean kitchen towel wring out any excess liquid. Add the vegetables and watermelon to the dressing and toss well to coat. Chill, if desired, before serving.
