Watermelon and Cucumber Salad

Can you believe that summer is almost here? I've been waiting so long for fresh watermelon, asparagus, and corn on the cob. Haven't you? Oh yeah, and what about fresh peaches, blueberries, and blackberries? I'm in!

For me, summer means eating outside with a tall glass of wine, fresh seasonal goodies while the sun is setting. Oh yeah and longs day at the pool, sunburn and bike rides... long live summer!

I am all about planning some delicious seasonal summer dishes that highlight the flavors we can only find during the summer like this Watermelon and Cucumber Salad. It will become your go-to for spring and summer events, cookouts and regular old weeknights.

This Watermelon and Cucumber Salad is full of all the delicious goodies that summer has to offer like fresh watermelon, cucumber, avocado and big chunks of salty feta. It is topped with pistachios and LOTS of fresh mint. The watermelon and cucumber are super hydrating and refreshing especially when it's hot outside. The feta adds a salty, rich flavor and you get some crunch from the pistachios.

The dressing is made simply with fresh lime juice, olive oil and a bit of salt. What could be easier?

Well, pairing it with a crisp, light Cavit Pinot Grigio really takes it over the top. The flavors marry perfectly and the wine doesn't overpower the salad. Did you know that Friday, May 26th is National Pinot Grigio Day? Can you think of a better holiday? I can't and I'm thinking we should declare every Friday of the summer National Pinot Grigio Day!

Are you in?

Cavit Pinot Grigio is one of my favorite wines because it's light, refreshing and full of citrus and apple flavor. It pairs well with all types of spring and summer meals like chicken, seafood, and turkey. It is the quintessential summer drink! Cheers!
