what is more fun is this awesome Magisso cake cutter that I got as a gift, but you guys can pick it up here.

Usually, I like to break on Sunday from decor and cook. I don't know about you guys, but my part of the world is boiling - summer is here and I need some comfort food. I saw watermelon in my fridge and  remembered this awesome salad I ate at a restaurant in New york; again. Watermelon-Basil salad with Goat cheese- an amazing, easy, gourmet looking and tasting salad. Trust me the salt and the goat cheese just make the melons taste like heaven,not to forget the flavor basil gives. Enough said now, here's how you make it

 1 cup scooped/cubed watermelon

4 tbsp chopped basil

1/3 cup goat cheese

1tsp Olive Oil

1/4 tsp Pepper 

Salt to taste

Mix all of the above and serve cold. 

Easy enough for Sunday Salad Therapy?
