Making Watermelon MORE Refreshing

September 27, 2010 by Julie 26 Comments

The salad that Ryan and I enjoyed during the Greek cooking class we took at Whole Foods on Friday night has stayed with me.

Though I loved all of the flavors in the salad (feta cheese, mmm, olives, mmm), the flavor combination that really stuck with me was the watermelon and mint duo.

Watermelon is already quite refreshing on its own, but when paired with fresh mint leaves, it reaches a whole new level of refreshment.

Watermelon + Mint

I enjoyed a big bowl of cubed watermelon with fresh mint leaves during lunch today and the combination of the two flavors was just as fantastic as I remembered.

Just to keep you guessing, I included some other totally random foods in my midday meal.

Along with the watermelon, I also had a bowl of lobster-flavored imitation crab meat and a cup of Greek yogurt.

Gimme!

I think Sadie wanted in on that fakie lobster meat.

Crab? Lobster? Fish? Delish!

The Spread

I also enjoyed this monster of a cookie that was leftover from my bridal shower.

Yum.

    I have been making that watermelon, mint and feta salad for a while! Paula Dean has a surprisingly healthy recipe consisting of those ingredients and a few more!

    Also, the other day I tried making what I called a watermelon mojito salad, which was just like yours but I squeezed lime over it!

    I would have never thought to put mint and watermelon together, but it sounds delicious!

    Also, I love imitation crab or lobster meat. A lot of people don’t like it because of the texture, but I love the texture! MMM!

    I LOVE watermelon, and I especially enjoy it with mint and basil. Those are two of my favorites. It is 80 and sunny today in San Francisco and a big bowl of watermelon sounds amazing! Also, I’ve never had imitation lobster. Does it taste even remotely like real lobster?

    I tried the watermelon and mint combo for the first time this summer and I LOVED it!

    I don’t hate on your imitation crab. I have it too occasionally and it’s definitely not like the real thing but it’s still good!
