Hello Friends Up North! I hear that the Summer Weather has finally arrived and you know what goes well with Summer … Incredibly refreshing Watermelon Salads

Yes, there is something about Watermelon that just makes you think of Summer time. It always there at Barbecues, or at least most everyone that I have went to and also when I was a kid it seemed that when we were outside playing my Grandma would always have a plate of Watermelon to bring out to us

And there are so many great uses for it. You can add it to Greek Salads, makes slushies out of them, add some Rum and make Adult slushies, popsicles, and one of my favourites Watermelon Gazpacho . Its a very refreshing soup and although it seems light its packed with so many veggies it fills you up so yay again, Watermelon for the win

One thing that I have yet to try is making Watermelon Rind pickles. I know that it is a staple in the South and it seems relatively easy to make and it’s not like watermelon is exactly a hard ingredient to find. So I am putting that on the list of things to make this Summer. If anyone has an absolute favourite recipe you can always list one below

Alright so it’s June and everyone is working / trying to keep up their beach body and with the beautiful weather you are craving light food am I right? Well that and Fish And Chips because for some reason while in our bathing suits sitting on a beach we want to eat a fried piece of fish and chips. I don’t know why it works but it does. Anyways that is besides the point.

This Salad = Pure Summer Heaven

Lets take a look at all the great reasons why

1. Avocado: Providing You healthy fats and will keep you feeling full (Plus people we need to step away from the Avocado Toasts for a While)
2. Watermelon: Crispy, Cool, Refreshing
3. Mixed Salad Greens: Incorporating mixed lettuce such as spinach will provide you with more nutrients than just plane romaine or iceberg
4. Feta Cheese: Because well, its freaking delicious
5. Balsamic Dressing: Light and in my opinion, the best go to dressing ever!

Oh so many great things about this salad I really am obsessed with it

It is also so quick to assemble. I usually always have a homemade bottle of balsamic dressing in my fridge (Seriously people if you are not making your own balsamic dressing by now START!!!!) and everything else just takes 5 minutes to assemble. Wipe down the cutting board and knife and bam your done

Because what does amazing weather mean especially when it seems like it has been years since you last saw it ….

Less time in the Kitchen = More Patio Time = More Wine with Friends time

And I mean no one is going to argue with that

So enjoy, and on a quick side note, if you happen to be travelling to Vancouver, BC this Summer (or you live there and for some crazy reason have never been there) head to Granville Island to a little stand called Go Fish. It is arguably the best Fish and Chips in the city. I mean it’s always Fish and Chips weather isn’t it
