This is essentially my favorite greek salad where instead of using tomatoes, I use watermelon. 

Instead of those juicy cherry tomato sounds, crisp sweet watermelon comes into play and works like magic.

We already know that watermelon is fabulous with feta. And of course, it works with fresh herbs, lemon and cucumber too. The olives add a buttery, savory richness that complements this crisp melon super well.

I love a refreshing summer salad just like this. It’s perfect to make and take to the pool or beach. It’s a lovely light dish on a super hot summer evening. And it’s the best lunch, served with toasted sourdough. You can even add some chickpeas, grilled chicken or salmon. 

You can’t go wrong.

And we’ve been experiencing crazy hot days here – temps reaching 95 and above. So a cooling, refreshing salad is a must. Give me all that water content, please!

These ingredients are all ones that I absolutely adore. They are bright and fresh and tart and briney. The textures work beautifully together and they create a wonderful side, starter or even main salad dish.

Best news ever: this is one of those salads that you can combine ahead of time. Since it’s lettuceless, you can toss these ingredients together and store them in the fridge for your lunch the next day. They get even better as they sit!
