Name: Greek-Style Watermelon Salad
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 3 cups cubed watermelon; 2 large ripe tomatoes; 1 medium cucumber; 1 small red onion; 1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives; 1/3 cup crumbled feta; Some chopped parsley and mint; Olive oil and red-wine vinegar; Salt and pepper

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.
