These easy Summer recipes of Blueberry Corn Salsa, Greek Meatballs with Tzatziki Sauce, and Watermelon Lemonade are part of a sponsored post, written in partnership with the Fresh Thyme Farmer’s Market. I was compensated for my attendance at the market, but all thoughts and opinions in this post are my own.

On Saturday, July 19, 2014, I am cooking for the guests of the Fresh Thyme Farmer’s Market in Greenwood, Indiana! I am thrilled to be asked to come back again, and after last time (serving over 475 guests) I am ready for the task!

From 11 AM to 2 PM that day, I’ll be making these easy Summer recipes: Sweet Corn and Blueberry Salsa, Greek Meatballs with Tzatziki sauce, and Fresh Watermelon Lemonade.

Watermelon Lemonade (Get the printable version HERE)

4 cups ice
4 cups seedless watermelon chunks
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons honey (or you can use sugar)
pinch of salt

In a blender combine all ingredients.  Puree until smooth.  You may have to stop it a few times to make sure it is blending evenly.  Serve right away or refrigerate.  The juice will separate as it sits, but just stir it again to combine.

Blueberry Sweet Corn Salsa

And last but not least, I made Blueberry and Sweet Corn Salsa! 

4 tsp olive oil

1 C fresh blanched sweet corn kernels

1 C fresh blueberries

1/4 C chopped sweet onion

2 TB chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 Medium jalapeno pepper

salt/pepper

Juice of 1 lime

zest of 1 lime

Combine all ingredients and serve.
