| Beauteous, no? |
Most people reading this will know I recently returned from am amazing trip to the United Kingdom, where I enjoyed some especially amazing meals.
For some reason, whenever I travel somewhere new, it's always that first meal that really knocks my socks off and sticks with me. On this trip, that meal took place at Draper's Hall restaurant in Shrewsbury, Wales, and began with an appetizer of watermelon and heirloom tomatoes.

| The original! |
When I got home, I knew I wanted to reproduce it! The flavor combination was unexpectedly complementary and so refreshing on a hot summer's day....not that we experienced any of those in Wales, but back home is another story.
It's also a delightfully easy, no-cook recipe.
What you need:
About 3 cups chopped watermelon
1 large heirloom tomato
About 2 tbsp feta cheese
A sprig of fresh rosemary
6-10 large basil leaves
A dash of salt and black pepper
Makes 4 servings
Just chop it all up, toss together, and serve!

Pretty healthy! Plus it's just pretty to look at. Surprisingly filling, too!
And it paired very well with some prosciutto-wrapped roast asparagus (that recipe shall be shared next).
.....On to things I could not replicate, sadly:
 |
| Draper's Hall Restaurant exterior in Shrewsbury. |
 |
| Boyfriend's lamb dish. |
 |
| My beer + bernaise sauce dish. |
 |
| Some sort of chocolate mousse something. |
 |
| I did have some success with recreating this face! Boyfriend highly approved of the salad. No leftovers! |
