So simple and so delicious! This wonderful, yet unexpected, combination creates a great texture. I made it with sunflower seeds (had them on hand) and the 'homemade' version of lemon-scented oil. A complete success. -
Cool and delicious. This was such a refreshingly tasty salad. Perfect for a hot summer day. -
I had to change the recipe a little because I forgot I ate all the pumpkin seeds, so I used pistachio nuts instead. I also used extra virgin olive oil with a squeeze of fresh lemon. I served this for guest just as a snack and everyone enjoyed it on this humid day. I can't eat watermelon because it doesn't digest properly but I did sample the recipe and it was yummy and my guest all said it was very refreshing. Thank you darang61 for another great recipe

I'm a busy mum to 5 plus a precious grandson. I've always had a passion of serving healthy nutritious and most importantly tasty food to my family and friends. Being an Aussie I have a insatiable appetite for bbq'ing . My cookery books fill three shelves of a large bookcase and I use the internet constantly looking for new recipes and ideas.
My passion for food and cooking has been passed down to my children with 2 now being qualified chefs and another 2 working part time in the food industry whilst studying. My grandson has enjoyed the benefits of a 'foodie family' and has only ever eaten food freshly prepared by us and usually grown by a member of the family as well.
