My four year old twin grandchildren love to cook and create in the kitchen with me. Last summer, the three of us were experimenting with watermelon and cheese and that's where this recipe began. It's ideal for neighborhood gatherings and picnics, or as a healthy snack on a hot summer day. -Gwendolyn Vetter, Rogers, Minnesota

I started making this for my only niece (Amanda) when she was little and she would come and spend a couple of weeks with us in the summer. We live 10 miles away from one of the leading mint producers in Michigan, so when you have access to such fresh mint, you come up with recipes to showcase it. It is easily adaptable to other fruits too, add your favorites along with the watermelon. Yummm!

A take on the Mediterranean combination of watermelon and feta, this refreshing zinger of a salad couldn't be more perfect. Unassumingly simple, the sweet melon, salty cheese and fragrant basil reach their peak when doused with white balsamic vinegar and dribbled with fruity olive oil. Rather than building tall, this salad builds wide - so use a large platter for the most dramatic presentation. Vinegared watermelon does not keep its crisp, juicy texture well, so be sure to dress it (and eat it) the moment the last basil leaf falls.
