Lately, my wife has been on a kick to try new and interesting dishes to spice things up at the dinner table. She loves to cook, which is great, because I like to eat. Over the past two or three months, she\u2019s even taken some inspiration from my New Year\u2019s resolution and has featured watermelon in some really tasty ways.<\/p>\n

Like this recipe for Watermelon Benedict<\/a>. So simple, so easy, yet supremely delicious. My wife likes it because it\u2019s a quick breakfast, and I like it because it uses watermelon. But don\u2019t take my word for it. Go ahead and make it for yourself!<\/p>\n

WATERMELON BENEDICT<\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS\u00a0\"22\"<\/p>\n

1 \u00bd cups low-fat granola of choice<\/p>\n

1\/3 cup honey at room temperature<\/p>\n

4-6 circles seedless watermelon (3\u201d round and \u00be\u201d thick)<\/p>\n

4-6 slices peeled kiwi fruit (1\/2\u201d thick)<\/p>\n

1 cup low or non-fat creamy lemon yogurt<\/p>\n

2-3 purple grapes, halved, seeded for garnish<\/p>\n

INSTRUCTIONS<\/p>\n

Mix the granola with the honey by drizzling the honey evenly over the granola as you stir. On a serving plate, make 3-inch circles of granola in even thickness, dividing the granola\/honey mixture evenly among the servings.<\/p>\n

Top each of the granola circles with a watermelon slice, and place a slice of kiwi on each watermelon circle. Spoon the yogurt over the kiwi and watermelon as though it were hollandaise sauce on eggs benedict.<\/p>\n

Top each watermelon benedict with a grape half, skin side up as a garnish reminiscent of the olive slice on eggs benedict.<\/p>\n
