A refreshing summer salad of chilled watermelon, feta cheese, preserved lemons and a couple more surprises. Enjoy this salad while taking a short trip to Taos, New Mexico.
The perfect cooler for a hot summer’s day. It’s watermelon in a glass. To give it a little kick add a touch of vodka, but be aware that these go down very easily.
Rather than throw away the watermelon rind, turn it into little pieces of watermelon rind candy – crisp and sweet with a touch of spice. Very addicting!
My granddaddy taught me that people eat the heart of the watermelon and the pigs get the rest. So make sure to cut your melons so everyone gets a piece from the heart.
