Watermelon, Feta and Olive Salad
Printable Recipe
The juxtaposition of cool, sweet watermelon and salty olives and feta makes a very satisfying lunch or snack. Since the watermelon will make the salad soggy, cut it in advance and add it just before serving. If you can’t find watermelon, use a mixture of cucumber and cantaloupe.

Coarse sea salt or kosher salt
