For those who do not get "relish" in their paper here are a couple yummy looking watermelon recipes:

Mediterranean Watermelon Salad 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice [be sure to measure](about 2 limes) 1 pound watermelon 1 tablespoon honey 1/4 teaspoon salt & coarsely ground pepper 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons each chopped fresh dill and mint 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese 2 ounces pitted kalamata olives, chopped 5 ounces arugula

1.) Cover onion with lime juice. 2.) Trim watermelon and slice into cardboard-thick pieces. 3.) Remove onion from juice. Add honey, salt and pepper to juice: stir until wel blended. Whisk in oil in a steady stream. 4.) Place watermelon in overlapping layers on a platter. Top with olives. Drizzle with half of lime juice mixture. Divide arugula among 6 plates. Top with watermelon and onion mixture. Passs remaining juice mixture on the side. Serves 6.

My notes: Looks like cotija cheese could easily be substituted for feta and spinach for arugula (does not taste like arugula) if preferred.

Curried Fish and Watermelon Kabobs *Grilling the watermelon concentrates its natural juices **Uses wooden skewers 1 pound watermelon 1 1/2 pounds mahi mahi, swordfish, tuna or other firm fish 4 cloves garlic, chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 pinch turmeric powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon coriander 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Lime wedges

1.) Prepare grill. Soak wooden skewers in water 5 minutes. 2.) Seed watermelon; cut into 2-inch chunks. Cut fish into 2-inch chunks. Thread fish and watermelon alternately onto skewers. 3.) Combine garlic and oil; brush on fish and watermelon. Combine spices; sprinkle on fish and watermelon, turning skewers to cover evenly. [Per serving: 180 calories, 6g fat, 85mg chol., 21g prot., 8g carbs., 0g fiber, 330 mg sodium.]

My notes: I soak my skewers about 20 minutes, that is the soaking time I have read previouly, and even then the ends tend to get pretty charred.

wordwitch We had this tonight with country fried steak, rice, gravy, and steamed broccoli. The saltiness of the feta went very well with the sweetness of the watermelon. Whenever I buy a watermelon, I always have leftovers. Now I know what I will do with it. Thank you so much. My husband, daughter, SIL, and I all raved. She wants it in the family cookbook NB...See MoreWe had this tonight with country fried steak, rice, gravy, and steamed broccoli.
