I guess I don't have to tell you that it's stinkin' hot here in Houston. Some mornings I wake up and see the windows covered in steam, giving any good Turkish bath house a run for it's money. So, it's not surprising to me that I find myself craving anything cold or refreshing to cool down my internal temperature, which seems to hover around, oh, I don't know, the heat index of the Mojave desert!

Yum! I love this recipe! It was stinkin' hot here in Chi town yesterday...woke up with steam on the windows...but as they say, stick around...in Chicago the weather will change quickly. It did. Even so, I love a good, cool refreshing summer salad...I'll definitely be making this one...thanks!!!

ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious! I love watermelon salads. One of my favorites is Todd English's with watermelon, fennel, basil, kalamata olives, and feta.
