Growing up, I would race home during the sweltering hot summer days to devour freshly cut watermelon.  I can still see the vibrant red, perfectly cut, thick triangular pieces, my Greek mama served on our off-white european platter….it always seems to taste better that way.  🙂

I can still smell the freshness and taste every water filled bite.  I ate SO much, I felt like my stomach was going to burst.  My organs couldn’t possibly process it all, so I had to pretty much run to the bathroom every 5 minutes.  This watermelon salad is an homage to my childhood.

It’s everything Greek; fresh, simple, delicious, nutritious and made with the healthiest ingredient of all…unconditional love. ❤️

 

Ratio of ingredients to taste:
