*Watermelon & Blueberry Salad w/Mint & Lemon Zest*

My apologies for being MIA the past month or so.  I have mainly been grilling chicken, making salads, and steaming veggies.  So, I figured most of you already know how to do those things and I didn't want to bore you ;)  However, I did make some yummy recipes over the 4th of July holiday I wanted to share.  This particular salad was fresh, tasty & definitely perfect for any summer occasion.
  
Ingredients:                                            
1/4 cup sugar
1//4 cup water
mint
zest & juice of 1 lemon
pinch of salt
2 cups blueberries
3 cups cubed watermelon

Directions:
Bring 1/4 cup each sugar and water to a simmer in a saucepan. Remove from the heat, add 3 mint sprigs and steep 10 minutes. Discard the mint; add the zest and juice of 1 lemon and a pinch of salt. Toss with 2 cups blueberries and 
3 cups cubed watermelon. Let stand 15 minutes. 
Top with chopped mint. Recipe courtesy of Food 
Network.

I hope all of you are enjoying your 
summer & staying cool!

  1. Is this from Food Network? I think I tore this page out of a magazine or something. It sounds fabulous! I made another watermelon salad recently that I need to post about before watermelon season is over! :)
