It’s heating up here in the South which means we’ll be having more backyard BBQ’s, neighborhood parties, and holiday celebrations. No matter where you live or where you’ll be hanging out this Summer, all of our festivities will include one commonality; food.

Summer Watermelon Recipes

My favorite thing about the warmer months in the South is dining outdoors, which is why we are currently in the process of “refreshing” our outdoor patio, so we can enjoy more time out there this Summer! More details about that project coming SOON. Sign up for our email list to stay up to date on all the latest!

But even if you choose to stay inside there’s nothing better than throwing some chicken on the grill and pairing it with a light crisp salad, and a glass of white wine. For weekends that you’re on-the-go to the lake or a friend’s house, a fruit salad makes for a flavorful side dish that travels well.

Watermelon and Feta Salad

This Summer salad definitely falls into the “don’t knock it til you try it” category. I think I was resistant for a while, but there’s just something about the subtle sweetness of the watermelon that pairs perfectly with the briny goodness of feta cheese. When you add mint and a little acidity you have the makings of a delicious Summer salad that you can whip up in a matter of minutes. Try this watermelon and feta salad recipe for your next BBQ or lake day!
