Recipe of the Week - Watermelon Salad
June 17, 2008
Watermelon Salad
(from the Salad Collection at emealsforyou.com)
This is a carryover from last year; but it’s still a winner. We were putting some chicken breasts on the grill and my wife wanted something “different” to go with it. As the spring heat turns into summer heat; cold, refreshing salads add color and a special touch to any meal.
The charm of watermelon salad is its versatility. Pair it with lunch meats, a can of tuna or even just some crispy crackers and you have a quick, delicious lunch… low in calories and good for you. Serve it as a dinner salad and watch the surprised looks you get. Having problems getting your kids to eat salad; come on what kid doesn’t like watermelon.
Well I have to go now… the photo made me think this is just what I need for tonight’s dinner.
