My Favorite Summer Salad
When the heat soars, and watermelon and cucumbers are plentiful, I make this salad that fills you up, cools you off and even quenches your thirst.
It couldn’t be simpler:
2 cups diced cucumbers
2 cups diced watermelon
1/2 cup chopped mint
1/4 cup crumbled feta
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste
Mix it all together, and enjoy!
Until next time,
Collyn
