I just found your site and enjoyed many articles. Of course, I love watermelon, but had always heard calories from natural sugar in watermelon was high. The salad and vinaigrette sound wonderful. Thank you…

In reply to Sarah. I agree that a watermelon daiquiri might not be the most fantastic caloric choice, but I'm also not a believer in intentional dietary deprivation! I was in a restaurant yesterday -- and their specialty drink was a watermelon basil margarita. I didn't try it, but it sounds delicious!

In reply to Kim Whitaker. Thanks, Kim. Watermelon and feta is one of my all time favorites. Something about the combination of sweet and salty . . .

In reply to Angie Swartz. Thanks, Angie. I don't know why watermelon is often so overlooked. It's cheap, delicious, and really versatile. Sitting on porch steps and spitting seeds can be a whole lot of fun, too!

Mmmh, I love the Watermelon Vinaigrette idea. Will definitely try that out…
What about a watermelon daiquiri ? Probably not so good to loose weight, but they are still yummy !
