A new favorite! Perfect for summer picnics!
Quoting Mark Bittman, The New York Times/Cooking:
It’s not an immediately obvious combination – watermelon, cucumber, olives and feta – but one bite will leave you convinced that this savory-sweet summer salad is something truly special. The astringent punch of the olives and feta provides a sophisticated counterpoint to the watery mellowness of the melon and cucumber. With a hunk of bread, it’s a lovely light lunch; with practically any grilled meat or fish, it’s an ideal summer supper.
I served it with grilled wild salmon and grilled chicken breasts with Harissa.
