Watermelon Basil Salad

The Summer of 2014 will from this day forward be remembered as the summer of the watermelon in our house.  We just can’t get enough.  It’s obscene how much we’ve eaten and this salad pretty much ensures that we’ll eat our weight in the melon at least two more times before the juicy fruits go out of season!  That’s not weird at all.  But this salad, OMG this salad!!!  I love the basil watermelon combo so much, but the pine nuts and balsamic take it over the edge.  Hope you love as much as I do!  xx- Sarah

THE PERFECT SUMMER SALAD

our amazing and talented friends juan and farra helped with the food for lou’s birthday party (god i love them!).  and when i was in panic mode and couldn’t come up with an idea for a salad to serve with tacos they suggested a watermelon, watercress, pepita and cotija salad with a lime cilantro vinaigrette.  genius, right?  i left out the cotija to keep it dairy free but it’s amazing with or without. light, refreshing, healthy, full of flavor and so easy to throw together!  what else could you want from a summer salad?  hope you love as much as i do. more after the jump!  xx- sarah
