Grilled Watermelon salad
Okay, I NEVER thought I would be a fan of watermelon salad. I mean I frowned upon the people who put salt on their watermelon... it made no sense to me. But, Summer = watermelon according to me and my kids. We all love it. And, it's a staple in the fridge in the summer. So, today I decided to go for it.. my way, and people, my way is by far awesome.
I substitute Agave nectar rather than Olive oil. If you have not tried Agave give it a try. I promised you this blog would have healthy recipes and Agave is very good for you... Beauty Boost: Agave is low in calories and gives a nice sweetness. You can use it as you would any sugar, and it is all natural. I am not a fan of fake sugar! Okay, back to the salad.. It's something about the sweetness of the balsamic vinegar in combination with the Agave nectar and the salty bite of the feta cheese. The freshness of the mint and the grilled yet juicy watermelon. I tell you, you have to give it a try... you may or may not like it but it's worth that salty sweet bite. It's bliss I tell you.
