Hi there, friends — happy JULY! How’s summer treating you so far? Let me tell you, it’s not fooling around here!

After a solid week of 100+ temperatures, next week’s nineties will get a warm welcome (pun). Waking up at 5:15AM to fit in my exercise is a tad too early for this early bird.

It’s been a challenge keeping our ice trays full considering the amounts of iced coffee and green tea I’m guzzling these days (water, too!). Luckily this recipe doesn’t require ice — just cool, crisp, juicy watermelon.

You might look at the short list of ingredients and doubt the mix of sweet fruit, earthy mint, salty feta cheese, and tangy balsamic vinegar would please your palate; in fact, they make a refreshing melody of flavors.

This simple “salad” can be easily assembled after a swim in the pool, or can be packed up for a picnic party or hydrating hiking snack.
