Recipe for Memorial Day BBQ's/Picnics - Juicy Watermelon Salad

I made this salad a few years ago for a church picnic and it was delicious!  It takes an "OK" side dish of watermelon that may normally show up at a church potluck and turns it into a special, savory side dish that will impress your friends.
So don't go the boring, same dish for Memorial Day - try this!


Juicy Watermelon Salad

 8 cups cubed, seedless watermelon (1 medium)
1 small red onion, cut into rings
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 cup fresh arugula/baby spinach
1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette
3 tbsp. canola oil
1 cup (4 oz.) blue cheese

 In a large bowl, combine watermelon and onion; cover and refrigerate until cold, about 30 min.  Before serving, add nuts and arugula to watermelon mixture.  In a small bowl, whisk vinaigrette and oil - drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese.

 10 servings

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
