(& other great summer BBQ recipe ideas)
Happy (almost) Canada Day folks (and early Independence Day for my US friends & family)!
This year, like every year, our long weekend is going to be filled with lots of family and summer based fun. Including some water based activities, BBQ-ing with the family and all the ice cream and other summery treats to keep us cool.
I thought I would share a few of my favourite long weekend eats to give you some food-spiration for the long weekend, including a simple watermelon salad, which I discovered last year, that has made me love eating watermelon even more that I already do!
Jump to RecipeMy Simple Watermelon ‘Salad’
One essential summer food is watermelon. Honestly watermelon doesn’t need much to dress it up. It is fabulous all by itself. But if you haven’t tried adding a splash of lime juice, and fresh basil over top you are seriously missing out! It is like a whole new level of yum!
Probably shouldn’t even call this a ‘salad’. It’s just watermelon-elevated.
