Chicken Watermelon Salad:
- ground chicken, my 1st choice or ground turkey.
- seasoning: chili powder, garlic salt, pepper & McCormick Roasted Garlic & Bell Pepper seasoning blend; (season to taste).
- red onion - chopped - 1/2 for the meat & 1/2 for the salad.
- watermelon - cut into bite size cubes, (I buy the small "individual" sized watermelons).
- sweet peppers - chopped, I usually use yellow, orange or red peppers, you can cook some of the peppers in the meat mixture if you like.
- small tomatoes - cut in half, I use grape tomatoes.
- salad greens.
- feta or blue cheese crumbles.
- Greek olives - sliced - I love them, my family doesn't, so they're optional.
- candied pecans - I use Emerald Pecan Pie candied pecans - they're out of this world!
- raspberries, black berries or blue berries - don't have to have them, but sometimes I add several different berries with the watermelon.
- Raspberry vinaigrette, Zesty Italian, blue cheese, or whatever dressing you're in the mood for.
I've ordered this salad a couple times at the Los Gatos Brewing Company, http://www.lgbrewingco.com/. They use red & yellow watermelon & top with a chiffonade of basil. (I don't recall much of flavor difference between the red & yellow watermelon.) Oh, it is just sooo good!

The ground chicken or turkey mix is also wonderful with tomatoes, onions, blue cheese crumbles, chopped sweet peppers, & Zesty Italian dressing; or as a topper over a baked potato.
Enjoy!

Oh, Diane this sounds delicious! Thanks so much for playing along. Love that it's easy and you leave all of the goodies in individual bowls. For sure on my list to make!
Thanks for playing along!
Hi, Diane, thanks for stopping by. You were asking about that little blue table I painted, going outside...it's going inside! You may have missed my posts about doing a redo in my guestroom with black & white damask & aqua walls. That's where it is going. Come back & see me.
Hi Diane,
Just wanted to mention that I am doing links (much like tablescape tuedays), where I will post your name and link your blog so others can see your recipe(s). Let me know if you would like to link by sunday at 9pm and I will list all of the participants on Monday..so that everyone can visit you and your great no brainers. If not, I can add this recipe to my post.
Didn't I make that a wee confusing?>LOL>
Diane...that sounds delish! Ive never heard of Yellow Watermelon.
We must not get it here. Does it taste the same as the red?
Cant wait to see your painted walls. Sounds like youve got it all worked out. Seeee you did it!!!
Yum! This sounds like a good, easy one that I'm going to have to try. Thanks so much for your kind visits to my RMS spaces and to my blog. I do plan to slowly post some pix of my home on my blog. I've been worried about posting them, so I thank you so much for your encouragement. laurie
Thanks for sharing yours too, Diane. DH and I love salads - I'll have to try yours. This is such a great idea.

My husband loves watermelon so I'll have to make this one for him.

Interesting, I've never had watermelon in a salad. I'll have to try it.
Thanks for the comment!
Your salad sounds very interesting! I love unusual flavor combos (as long as they taste good! LOL) so I'll have to give it a try. I've had a watermelon & feta salad before so chances are I'll like it.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a nice note in my blog today. laurie
