Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

It's not quite the fruit pizza you might be imagining. Feta cheese and kalamata olives with fresh mint make up a fresh, salty topping that balances brilliantly with the sweet, crispy melon.

1 large watermelon
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup Kalamata olives, drained and patted dry, optional
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
12 sprigs fresh mint
Rinse and pat the watermelon dry. Cut three 3 inch thick rings from the center of the melon. Reserve the rest of the melon for another use.
Place each melon ring on a large plate and sprinkle each with one-third of the Feta and olives (if using). Drizzle each ring with 1 tablespoon each of the lime juice and olive oil.
Cut each ring into four wedges as you would a pizza. Garnish each slice with a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
