About Recipe

I don’ t usually post three times a week, but I made a watermelon basil salad this week and I just had to share the twist I added. I picked up a handful of little bento vegetable cutters for $4 from a hardware store in Japantown that look like the cutest, tiniest cookie cutters you’ve ever seen. I used them to cut out shapes of watermelon, canteloupe, and honeydew melon for a refreshing melon salad that impressed everyone at the table. It’s funny how I never thought to use cutters to make my salads more interesting. I think I might try this more often, and those of you with kids might find it a great inroad to getting your young’ins to eat more fruits and vegetables.
