Watermelon Salad

Watermelon salad is an easy-to-make, composed salad.  It will pack and travel for picnics, the beach and back-yard summer pot lucks.  August 18th is National Watermelon Day!  Watermelon is at its peak here in the Northeast and nothing says summer fun quite the same way as this version made with sweet watermelon and feta cheese.  

 

 

 

To compose:

Top slices of watermelon with crumbled feta cheese for a nice contrast of sweet and salty.  Drizzle with fresh lime or lemon juice and olive oil for a simple dressing.  Top with chopped herbs.  Both chives and basil are traditional choices, along with mint or oregano.

It's that easy.
