This Black Light Watermelon Salad is Spooky and Delicious

— July 31, 2011 — Lifestyle
It is not every day that a Black Light Watermelon Salad is served on a plate, but it has finally happened. The cucumber and watermelon salad is meticulously cut up into fine, neat pieces and covered in mint-infused oil and a tonic granita to make it glow underneath a black light.

Found on Instructables.com, the dish "is a rather simple one, where these two luminous elements can show off their unique visual qualities, while each adding a complimenting flavor and texture to the central elements of the dish." The Black Light Watermelon Salad is a refreshing treat this summer and is sure to impress guests, especially easily entertained children, with its unique glow-in-the-dark abilities.

There are only three parts to the salad: the salad itself, the tonic granita and mint oil. Easy to make, delicious and cool to look at, the Black Light Watermelon Salad is a triple threat.
