Here's a fun recipe my friend gave me and it's delish!! (and pretty). When you go to parties or BBQs and are trying to stick to your goals, keep this in mind...BRING SOMETHING YOU WANT TO EAT and that's in line with your goals. There is almost always a veggie and fruit platter so maybe bring a prosciutto & melon app, or hummus dip for veggies, clean guacamole with veggies & chips (for the others). You can do it, it just takes a little planning ahead that's all. Here's the full recipe HERE.
Watermelon Feta Mint Skewers
Ingredients:
* 4 oz feta cheese, in a block (I used low-fat)
* 1/4 of a large watermelon, cubed into bite-sized pieces
* Mint leaves
* Skewers/toothpicks
* Balsamic for drizzling
Directions:
*Cube the watermelon into bite sized pieces.
*Cube the block of feta.
*To assemble, stack the feta and watermelon with a mint leaf in between. Using a skewer or toothpick, skewer the stack.
*For added flavor, I used a reduced balsamic vinegar drizzle.This is entirely optional, but also entirely delicious so that’s your call. To make the drizzle, add ½ cup balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan and reduce for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Drizzle over the skewers.
