Watermelon Salad with Mint and Almonds

Watermelon Salad with Mint and Sliced AlmondsHappy National Watermelon Day! August isn’t a big holiday month so celebrating watermelon day to the fullest extent is absolutely a-okay with me. My husband’s birthday also happens to be in August so stay tuned for some golf-themed party ideas as Blakely is adament that we are throwing him a golf party (he’s a golf pro). She’s taking quite nicely to her job as my assistant tablescape director these days. In case you’re not familiar with Blakely, she’s also my 3 year old daughter. Back to watermelon…

Watermelon Salad with Mint and Sliced AlmondsWatermelon Salad with Mint and Sliced Almonds

This watermelon salad is one of the most refreshing recipes for summer when it’s blazing hot outside, and you just need something cool and delicious. Use a melon baller to create the watermelon balls. You could certainly just use cubed watermelon, but I think the ball-shape is so much prettier for a gorgeous presentation. If you’re hosting a party, prep the watermelon balls in advance and finish each salad with the toppings as you serve them. Or set up a melon ball bar for people to create their own (add in cantaloupe, honeydew – but make sure they’re perfectly ripe – hard honeydew melon is the worst).

Watermelon Salad with Mint and Sliced Almonds

We used sea salt and cracked black pepper almonds on our watermelon salad. I love the little extra touch of savory that it gives the sweet watermelon! You could certainly pick your favorite toppings or skip the almonds altogether.
