This Watermelon Lime Salad is a great option for your summer barbecues and 4th of July parties. It is simple, colorful and healthy for you. Is it just me or are you stunned that this week is 4th of July. Next thing you know it’ll be Labor Day.
When I think of summer Watermelon comes to my mind. We ended our summer barbecues with big, thick slices of watermelon. I loved to salt it back then. Earlier this summer I created a Watermelon Margarita
and I have a jar of pureed watermelon waiting to create another drink tonight. Maybe a Strawberry Watermelon Aqua Fresca. Doesn’t that sound refreshing?
Do you dream of being on a game show? How is that for a smooth transition. My cousin Cassie is casting for a new game show coming this fall called Let’s Ask America and even better, you can play from your home. I told her I’d share the info – they are looking for contestants all across the US so go to the website and apply!
Now back to food, the reason you are visiting. If you are looking for a healthier alternative to Red Velvet Whoopie Pies try this on I created for Eat Better America with berries. It has 30% less fat and calories than regular whoopie pies and the berries make it pretty.
Well, now you have a few choices for your 4th of July parties. A way to start and end the day. Have a Happy Fourth of July!
