Alabama News Center — Recipe: Minty Watermelon Blueberry Salad

By: Andrea Mathis

Happy Fourth of July, y’all. To me, the Fourth of July isn’t complete until you have a huge serving of juicy watermelon. Yum. When I was a kid, watermelon and fireworks were always a tradition for the Fourth.

We would gather at my grandmother’s house, eat barbecued ribs and watermelon, and have tons of fun with firecrackers. Well, my cousins had tons of fun with the firecrackers. I was terrified of them. I hated that they were so loud, and I was afraid that they would burn me.

Even as an adult, I love to watch those beautiful fireworks in the sky, but I hate to hear them nearby. It drives me, and my dog, crazy.
