photoblogged: Spinach and Watermelon Salad What better way to pretend it’s summertime than to eat watermelon?  Being that we’ve had such warm weather this winter, it’s basically been spring since January.  So now it’s time for summer and let’s bring on the sun and hot weather already!  I love love love watermelon.  I love love love spinach.  I love love love cheese.  So let’s put them together!  I wasn’t too sure about mozzarella on this salad, I knew feta would go really well with it, but I really didn’t want to buy a thing of feta and only use it for this one salad.  I could get more use out of mozzarella over a few courses than I would with feta.  So I got mozzarella.  And good thing it actually worked out really well.  I used a very light homemade dressing.  My go-to salad dressing actually.  I’m not really sure of the measurements, but I will guess for blogging purposes… ^_^ Honey Lime Dressing 1 tablespoon of honey 1/2 lemon or lime (I used a lime that was in my fridge) 1 tsp olive oil salt, to taste freshly ground pepper, to taste Mix the ingredients together.  Taste it and see how you like it and adjust accordingly if you want it a little sweeter or a little more tart.  This dressing complements the watermelon spinach combination really well.  This amount was enough to dress two salads, so adjust accordingly if you need more dressing.  Put your spinach, watermelon, mozzarella (or feta..if you really want) together and mix the dressing over it.  SO GOOD!  You must try!

Spinach and Watermelon Salad

What better way to pretend it’s summertime than to eat watermelon?  Being that we’ve had such warm weather this winter, it’s basically been spring since January.  So now it’s time for summer and let’s bring on the sun and hot weather already!  I love love love watermelon.  I love love love spinach.  I love love love cheese.  So let’s put them together! 

I wasn’t too sure about mozzarella on this salad, I knew feta would go really well with it, but I really didn’t want to buy a thing of feta and only use it for this one salad.  I could get more use out of mozzarella over a few courses than I would with feta.  So I got mozzarella.  And good thing it actually worked out really well. 

I used a very light homemade dressing.  My go-to salad dressing actually.  I’m not really sure of the measurements, but I will guess for blogging purposes… ^_^

Honey Lime Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1/2 lemon or lime (I used a lime that was in my fridge)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • salt, to taste
  • freshly ground pepper, to taste

Mix the ingredients together.  Taste it and see how you like it and adjust accordingly if you want it a little sweeter or a little more tart.  This dressing complements the watermelon spinach combination really well.  This amount was enough to dress two salads, so adjust accordingly if you need more dressing. 

Put your spinach, watermelon, mozzarella (or feta..if you really want) together and mix the dressing over it.  SO GOOD!  You must try!
