National Watermelon Day!

Yep, watermelon has its own holiday too! We devour watermelon at warp speed, so I never have enough leftover to actually make anything with it most of the time, but a few years ago my garden produced A LOT of watermelons, so I was able to make these....
Watermelon Granitas. They were really good and super simple.

This Watermelon and Feta Salad is also very good...
we served this at a Bridal Luncheon my mom, sister and I hosted for one of my sister's best friends. (Photo compliments of one of the guests, who is also a blogger at Mason Jar Champagne!)

What's your favorite way to eat watermelon? Do you put salt on it? (I only do that with cantaloupe) Does it have to be chilled, seedless? It doesn't matter to me, but my son will only eat it with the seeds removed. I prefer it chilled, but can eat it however. It's sooo good! 

Happy Saturday!

    Watermelon is great, I find that if you add a crushed meringue nest and some cream it's a pretty decent dessert too. http://bit.ly/16iI6Ky

    My family loves watermelon. They are way better when chilled. So I always keep them in the fridge. My kids would only eat the seedless ones. :) The Watermelon Granitas sounds super good especially on hot summer days. Can't wait to make some.

    I rarely do anything with watermelon other than gobble it up! But this granita sounds awesome...need.to.try.

    Well I totally missed that one, and one of the boys favs. I did make cookies shaped like watermelons I posted on Monday :)
