watermelon, radish & strawberry plate

this time of year, when fruits and veggies are at their best i like to keep things simple.

truly, this time of year it is best to let them be exactl who they are -fresh, flavorful, wonderful.

for fathers's day, i invited my dad over for breakfast. my dad and i share a love of gardening and all things found in nature - i proudly say i inherited is green thumb and passion for backyard gardening.

i knew my dad would enjoy this little addition to the breakfast table, especially the radishes.

that man loves his radishes.

growing up, i was always surrounded by fresh fruits and veggies straight fom our backyard garden.

a little salt & pepper was all we ever needed to bring out the full flavor of just picked radishes, tomatoes and cukes.
for my fruit ad veggie plate i went with local organic strawberries, patricia breakfast radishes from my garden and sliced watermelon.

i am head over heels inlove with the colors - too pretty for words.

strawberries are hulled and quartered, watermelon sliced and radishes were thinly sliced and drizzled with excellent olive oil and sprinkled with flaky salt & freshly cracked pepper.

perfection; and like i knew he would, my dad went straight for the radishes.

this little array would be perfect for a summer happy hour in your garden with friends, brunch breakfast or a light lunch.

perfect for anytime this summer that calls for a cool refreshing retreat from the heat.
