Recipe Notes

If you are making this fruit salad for multiple days of morning goodness, add the dressing the day you eat it. The lime juice will break down the fruit causing it to be really mushy.

Watermelon Salad

A classic twist on fresh watermelon.

Watermelon salad sounds like ‘why mess with a good thing?’ but it kicks your summer salad up a notch. Of course, your watermelon purists will desist, but if you can open up to try new foods, mixing watermelon with olive oil and lemon will give you a tasty surprise. The feta cheese adds a touch of saltiness, perfect on a hot, summer day.

New this year - pistachios! With all the other Mediterranean flavors going on here, why not?! Pistachios are perfect for a little added saltiness and another pop of flavor.
