This may very well be my favorite salad... at the very least in my top 5. I found this while flipping through a Nigella Lawson cookbook I picked up at a thrift store (like who could part from such a treasure!?) The picture was amazing, but I was skeptical about the flavor combinations; it was like nothing I had ever tried before. I was tempted. The moment I took my first bite, literally everything I had once known to be true came into question. Where had this been all my life? How could I have never experienced such vibrant flavors? I may sound a bit dramatic, but it is merely to entice you to give this dish a whirl. It will transport you to another place; a better, warmer, sunnier place to be exact. To get the full recipe, visit here, but I like to take thinly sliced red onion that has been soaking in fresh lime juice and add it to watermelon, feta, kalamata olives, mint and freshly cracked pepper. I also recommend listening to a little Beirut while you enjoy this taste of summer.
