Summer Salad with Mimi & Gloria There’s nothing sweeter than summer—and nothing more refreshing than a watermelon salad made with love! This week, our lovely residents Mimi and Gloria teamed up in the Bickford kitchen to whip up a seasonal favorite: watermelon summer salad. With fresh mint leaves, creamy feta cheese, juicy watermelon chunks, a splash of balsamic vinegar, and just a pinch of salt, they created a dish that was as vibrant as their friendship. Moments like these remind us that joy is often found in the simple things—like good food and great company. Thank you, Mimi and Gloria, for bringing a taste of summer to all of us! #BickfordOfRockyRiver #AssistedLiving #Montessori #Cooking
