It’s on! Summer is finally here! The sun is shining and the thought of cooking something for dinner or being stuck in a hot kitchen is making me cringe.

Salad time. Watermelon. Feta. A little mint from the garden. Some sweet balsamic drizzle and dinner is served.

I really need to sit down and take the time to update the blog with all the things that have been going on lately. We planted our straw bale at the community garden across the street (!). I’ve finished my first week of coaching climbing summer camps. My parent’s homestay student has finally arrived and she is totally the coolest. I performed at a Motown open mic night. So far, summer has been kicking serious butt!

More to come – but for now, enjoy this sweet, fresh, light, juicy, summer salad!

WATERMELON FETA MINT SALAD
serves 4

1 small seedless watermelon, cubed
1 small package goat or sheep feta, cubed
1/4 cup mint leaves
4 large handfuls of mixed greens

for the dressing: equal parts flax oil and balsamic vinegar (I used ginger fig balsamic)

optional add-ins: pecans, avocado, red onion

Mix all the salad ingredients and toss with the dressing. Enjoy!
