This Week's Farmer's Market Find

Fresh watermelon! Today is a market day in Mid-Town. Want to make a refreshing salad that works great for a lite lunch or a dinner side dish? Make a run to the farmer's market and get a local grown watermelon. Grab some blueberries, and jicama if they have them as well.

Cut the watermelon to bite size pieces, peel and dice the jicama. Add as much jicama and blueberries as you like to the bowl with watermelon. In a smaller bowl, whisk together a few tablespoons  lime juice with about a 1/2c. honey. Pour honey mixture over watermelon, sprinkle with a bit of chile powder (yes, chile powder!), and mix thoroughly. Have some blue cheese or feta crumbles in the fridge? Add a touch to the top, and garnish with a few fresh mint leaves.

Summer in a bowl! You will be surprised how well the flavors blend and how refreshing it tastes.
