Feta and Watermelon Salad and Skewers are so delicious and refreshing. Salty and sweet, a match made in heaven. Add to that my Lemon Vinaigrette to drizzle over the salad.
One of my favorite gadgets is the salad spinner. It’s great for washing and drying your greens well. This allows the dressing to adhere to the leaves.
