Watermelon Lemonade Popsicles

We have had a few yummy melons this past week and I thought we'd transform one of them into a popsicle.  Let me tell you, the results are awesome!  With the tang from the lemonade, it is a perfect summertime treat :)  Give these a try soon.

Watermelon Lemonade Popsicles

2 cups (packed) finely chopped seeded watermelon

3/4 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons sugar
1 pinch salt

Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor. Puree until very smooth. Divide mixture among 8 ice pop molds (each about 1/4 to 1/3 cup capacity). Cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 5 days.

Watermelon Feta Salad

Here's to watermelon season!  I had had a similar salad on my list for a while now, and my father-in-law ended up making this for dinner.  It is mighty tasty!  The sweet-salty combo is always a winner in my book :)  This salad is a great refreshing summery salad, and with fresh mint...it just is wonderful.
