Now don't faint...I actually found a watermelon dish I could love. I will give you the recipe but you will have to be brave to try this one. I was actually working and waiting for my appointment to call on a doctor and his waiting room was FULL. During my 2 hour wait, I watched the Medical Television program that was playing. The demonstration was for 2 healthy fruit-veggie salads and I was intrigued. So here goes:
Cut up 3-4 cups of watermelon, seedless or seeded
Add 2 cups of feta cheese, broken or cut into pieces
Add several slices of thinly sliced red onion
Add chopped parsley, about a 1/4 cup
Add chopped mint, about 4-5 leaves
Add 1/4 lime juice, fresh if you have it.
Toss and serve to the brave.
This has such an unusual flavor, sweet, salty, minty and sour.
Here is the other recipe:
Cut up 1 or 2 mangoes
Add 1-2 cups of cherry tomatoes, halved
Add several slices of thinly sliced red onion
Add 1/2 - 1 cup greek olives or black olives
Add chopped basil, about 5-6 leaves
Add about 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
Toss and serve.
This one is really good too. I think there may be some adventurous ones that may try these.

Sounds interesting, we are game to try them! too bad you did not see the recipe when we were there and you had 3 watermelons!

Well, Jo, in keeping with this theme, let me share a watermelon recipe that we came across that I think you may enjoy as well. I will post it on my blog. It is sweet and savory (which I know how much we enjoy savory foods).
