I am milking every last bit of summer out of this weekend. The days are still warm but the nights are cooling off. I love sleeping with the windows open snuggled under a blanket. BUT, My food still looks like summer. I am keeping the food light and topping it off with a tasty refresher. Check out my twist on a BLT salad:
I started with the standard BLT, crispy lettuce from the super greens share topped with cherry tomatoes and bacon. Then I threw on fresh mozzerella chunks and hard boiled eggs from my egg share. Shake on a bit on honey mustard dressing and you are good to go. But wait…. on to the watermelon Lemondae!
You gotta start somewhere…6 cups of water
3/4 cup of lemon juice
1/2 cup of sugar
Enter the summer favorite…watermelon!
Remove the pulp and the seeds, leaving you with the sweet pink watermelon juice, you need about a cup.
Add the watermelon juice and stir for a good 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Taste test and adjust as needed.
Why not make it a bit fancy, send summer out with a bang. I decided to sugar the rim of the glass with coconut sugar!
That’s it! Pour and enjoy.
