Tomato Watermelon and Feta Salad

Filed in archive Recipes on August 23, 2008

Opposites attract.
Or so they say.

Dishes that mix contrasting flavors like sweet and salty or sweet and savory are some of my favorites.

I don't think I've ever met a more perfect salad. The mélange of super juicy cubes of watermelon, ripe tomatoes, crunchy red onions (not listed in the recipe - my addition) herbs and salty, crumbly feta cheese is a refreshing, unique summer dish. And it can be on the table in a matter of minutes.
