watermelon fetaI may be the very last person on earth to try watermelon and feta cheese together. Finally I made it happen and joined the rest of the human race. I photocopied this recipe from a magazine – possibly from Cooking Light. It was very easy to make and I really like the combination of flavors. I made half of the recipe and it was enough for 4 people for dinner. I used fat-free feta instead of reduced fat. This salad doesn’t last more than a day because all the juices run out of the watermelon.
