We eat lots of watermelon in the summer. If I let him, my Sam would eat nothing else.
I decided to try using it in a salad thanks to all the magazines I see featuring the bright red fruit as the starring ingredient.
This side features what I had in the fridge the day I made it. I meant to add feta cheese to the recipe, but completely forgot about it. The kids were hungry and kept asking when we were going to eat, and I was rushing to get dinner on the table.
Turns out it tasted perfectly yummy. I added feta when I had leftovers for lunch the next day and yum! That was tasty, too.
Mangia! Mangia!

Watermelon Lime Salad
Inspired by the many magazines delivered to my home
6 to 8 cups cubed seedless watermelon
1/2 a large red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, more to taste
Optional: Feta cheese, chopped chives, cold cooked shrimp
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine. Serve right away or let salad chill for bit in the fridge first.
You can turn this salad into a main dish by adding feta cheese and chilled cooked shrimp and serving it over mixed greens. No need to add any dressing.
