Nothing I love more than fruit, vegetables and flowers. (OK and dogs too.) I try to eat a lot of fresh salads throughout the week, but lately they’ve been feeling a little mundane.

Basil Watermelon Goat Cheese Salad

THE INSTRUCTIONS:

Cut the watermelon into 3/4″ slices. Decide what you want to spell out, and lay your letters out onto of each slice. Cut out the letters and place onto a plate. I love these cookie cutter letters because they are 3″ X 2″ X 1″ and each letter is a generous portion of watermelon. Top the watermelon letters with as much chopped basil and crumbled goat cheese as you like. Finally, drizzle with balsamic. Serve chilled.
