I chose to feature this recipe for the same reason I choose any watermelon recipe: It looked simple and delicious. The National Watermelon Promotion Board website notes that this recipe is “great for a Princess Party or on Valentine’s Day,” but I’m guessing you can make it any time of the year and still have a blast.
To be honest, I’m not even certain what a princess party is, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never been to one. I’m also sure that, as the father of a two-year-old girl, there’s a princess party or two in my not-too-distant future. I’d better keep this recipe on file.
