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!
