Has it already been 2 weeks since my last post? The days just seem to be flying by and we are already in July! We are finally enjoying some wonderful summer weather and there’s no better time to do some grilling. Grilling at my house is a year round affair but nothing beats grilling fruit in the summer. My favorite is grilled pineapple, the bbq bringing out even more sweetness. While preparing Mahi Mahi burgers for dinner, I figured the best topping would be a grilled pineapple salsa. The combination of sweet pineapple, smoky roasted red peppers with a spicy kick was fresh and delicious.

And hey, if you have some extra grilled pineapple, spread some Nutella and sprinkle some nuts and you have yourself dessert!

Watermelon, feta, mint….who knew combining sweet watermelon with creamy cheese and mint would taste so good. It’s amazing how well it works together – trust me.

After cold weather and a snow fall this month, it’s nice to finally have lovely May weather. The weekend was spent outdoors. We enjoyed the plus 20 temperatures that we had eagerly been awaiting. Sunday afternoon on the boat led to barbecuing indian spiced and korean bbq ribs.

This watermelon, feta and mint salad was such a refreshing accompaniment to the meal. This unexpected combination of sweet watermelon, creamy cheese accented with sweet red onions and mint definitely felt like “summer in a bowl”. Take it to your next potluck – it will be the most talked about dish.

Update – August 2019 – My 5 year old helped me make this salad today. He was so confused about the addition of onions to his beloved watermelon. He would not try the salad but I was not upset about it. It just meant there was more for hubby and I to enjoy!
