WATERMELON is one our favorite Summer treats! 

It is outstanding with Feta, pureed into a yummy frozen drink and delightfully refreshing in a salad.  It is also perfect to slice up, seal in a plastic container, put it in the cooler and take to the beach for a refreshing snack!

Watermelon and Blueberry Salad

• 1 Tbsp Honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh mint
• 1 cup seedless watermelon, cubed
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1 cup arugula
• Toss watermelon and blueberries in the honey and lemon juice. Pour over the arugula. Top with chopped mint.

 

Watermelon and Goat Cheese Discs – Rum is optional

• Cut a seedless watermelon into small round disks about a half inch thick
• Using a metal round disc/cookie cutter/jigger (shot glass/alcohol measurer) makes cutting the disks very easy
• RUM IS OPTIONAL – If you are keeping it safe for the little ones – skip this step – Pour rum (I used Captain Morgan) into a shallow dish with sides to hold the liquid, about 1 cup. Place watermelon in the rum and set in the frig for 30 minutes, flipping watermelon half way through so both sides soak. Remove watermelon from the rum
• Top with goat cheese disk/mound that you press with your finger to make a disk (cold wet hands help)
• Drizzle with balsamic drizzle
• Top with chopped fresh mint
• Refrigerate until ready to enjoy

Watermelon and Feta Skewers

• cube seedless watermelon and feta into same size cubes
• top with basil
• stick a toothpick in it

 Watermelon Margaritas

• Puree 1 1/2 cups seedless watermelon, 1 cup tequila, 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, 1/2 cup orange liquor or triple sec, 1 Tbsp agave or simple syrup, and 3 cups ice in a blender
• Pour into 4 glasses and garnish with slice of watermelon and lime wedge
• Optional salted rim

Watermelon, Kiwi, Feta (Rubik’s Cube)

• Cut Watermelon, Kiwi and Feta into squares
• Place 9 squares on bottom (any order you like, but mix it up)
• Do 2 more layers of this on top so you have 3 layers all together
• If it is not staying in place you can stick a toothpick through it on one side to keep the shape
• Garnish with mint or basil (optional)
• Drizzle with Olive Oil (optional)

Enjoy!
