One of the many reasons I love watermelons is because this beautiful, pink fruit is so versatile.  It tastes great on its own as a sweet and refreshing snack, but also pairs well with savory flavors to create unique salads.  In this recipe the sweet fruit is balanced with tangy feta cheese and black olives.  Toss in a few crunchy pumpkin seeds and you have a fantastic summer side dish!

Here is what you will need:

-Watermelon

-Feta cheese

-Black olives (I also like Kalamata’s from Lindsay Olives!)

-Pumpkin seeds  (Sunflower seeds also taste great!)

    The best way to enjoy watermelon is with a little salt at the family picnic. Minus the ants of course.

    On a warm summer day, I slice up a cool watermelon for the kids to slurp on the deck…A sprinkle of vanilla sugar to punch natural sweetness-
    Then the mom’s pop a few frozen watermelon balls in a glass of Pinot Grigio-
    Kids do a water melon seed spitting contest with their last
    half of melon- Mom’s take pictures & give aawards-
    Its a GREAT summer afternoon!!
