I Bet You Didn't Have This For Dinner

Watermelon Salsa

On a bed of romaine, with a parmesan and cream cheese sauced pasta with chicken. It was good.

Elaborated for Karin
Those are red onions in the watermelon salsa, it's one of those sweet-savory sort of things. I wasn't sure if we'd like it, but The Grand Lunar and I did, it was different but good. Here's the ingredients:

• watermelon, cut small (and seeded would've been nice, LOL!)
  
• red onion
  
• garlic, minced
  
• small spicy chile of some sort, seeded & minced (I didn't have one so I added cayenne powder)
  
• cilantro
  
• ground cumin
  
• lemon juice (I would've used lime if I had it, and I saw one recipe that called for balsamic vinegar instead)
  
• salt

Did everyone like it? sigh.
The Grand Lunar and I liked it. Although Lunar did say he would probably prefer a tomato salsa :) The children didn't try the salsa, I didn't try to make them. Actually, for a change I was a "nice mom" (or so I thought) and didn't serve the meal all stirred together. (I do mostly one-dish type meals, rather than 3-4 separate dishes) So I made chicken-and-noodles together, and I made a big bowl of plain watermelon, and I had the romaine separate. They each got a small portion of each of those three items. I thought the children would really like the chicken-and-noodles -- with a sauce that had cream cheese melted into it? Who could resist that? And it was good, it wasn't one of my weird food flops LOL. But ... it wasn't a hit. Oh well. Nearly all of them ate the requisite "try-me" bite, and I guess that'll have to do.
