As regular readers will know, I do like my cup of tea, but how about this! Watermelon salad in a tea-cup!
"This dainty salad is a gorgeous, refreshing snack, light meal or post-meal enjoyment that will provide instant refreshment as well as a welcomed hit of hydration and nutrients. Watermelons are mostly water — about 92 percent — but every juicy bite has significant levels of vitamins A, B6 and C, as well as lycopene and beauty-boosting antioxidants that help keep your complexion glowing all summer long...
Ingredients
Serves 3
350 g (12 oz/2 cups) diced seedless watermelon
90 g (31/4 oz/2 cups) baby English spinach leaves
Small handful of mint leaves, torn or roughly chopped
1 large celery stalk, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
60 g (21/4 oz/ 1/2 cup) crumbled goat’s cheese
Dressing
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp lime juice
Handful of coriander (cilantro) leaves, chopped
130 g (41/2 oz/ 1/2 cup) sheep’s milk yogurt (available from supermarkets)
Celtic sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method
Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl, then divide between three wide-mouthed teacups, mugs or bowls. Spoon the dressing on top and serve immediately.
Supercharged tip
Keep the salad and dressing separate until just before serving, then when you’re ready to eat spoon the dressing on top."

We like watermelon in summer--it is so refreshing! This weekend we clebrate Father's Day and we are having a backyard barbecue for the entire family. We bought an extrsa large watermelon and this will be a nice way to use up leftovers.during the week.
Salad in a teacup!! Perfect for me.
A perfect summer salad!
It looks delicious but I'd have it in a big bowl.
Looks good, Jan and I must do that.
That does look refreshing. I never would have thought of putting watermelon in a salad like that.
Great recipe, if I find a watermelon somewhere I'll try it... Thanks!!!
This is a really great recipe, and in this heat, the mug-sized portion is plenty!
Happy day, hugs Elke
It's looking delicious for hot days. Have a nice weekend !
A teacup full of watermelon salad may surprise devoted tea drinkers, but it looks like a wonderfully fresh and colourful way to enjoy summer flavours.
This would be perfect when the days are beastly hot
Sounds good and summer is finally on the way!
Dear Jan!
A delicious watermelon salad. No dressing for me. I don't eat yogurt, milk, or cream.
Hugs and best regards.
It looks delicious.
The salad sounds refreshing and I love the idea of serving in a mug...
Can't go wrong with watermelon :-D
Yes, we do that; also with Feta cheese.
God bless.
First of all I love your teacups and the salad is great! Thanks for the share Jan, have a super weekend. All the best, Denise
Hello Jan,
The watermelon salad sounds delicious, I will have to try it soon.
Have a happy weekend.
I have a feeling we'll see this on my summer menu! Thanks!
Oh yes!! this looks wonderful!!!
...could I have a larger bowl full?
that sounds interesting, I have never had watermelon inside anything before, just always ate it on it's own!
I love a good watermelon salad, and this one sounds delicious. And that dressing sounds great too.
That mini salad looks very pretty in the mug. I have seen cake in mugs before but not a salad.
Delightful. I just wrote a comment to you about how I eat from cups/mugs too. So fun.
I am completely in love with watermelon lol
So nice to learn this recipe dear Jan🥰
Una ensalada muy refrescante. Besos.
What a beautiful and refreshing looking dish for the heat of summer. Thanks, Kitty!
