Another Summer Salad

Although summer is coming to an end, I'm not quite ready to let it go.

So I am grilling and putting fresh fruit in salad as much as possible.

This salad was divine, absolutely perfect actually.

The watermelon added a nice crunch and sweet flavor, while the onion added a necessary bite.

The dressing is perfectly tangy and the feta adds that extra flavor layer...seriously one of the best salads ever, I could have eaten an entire plate of it.

I did end up using fresh lettuce from the garden instead of arugula...I bet the arugula would add the perfect bite to this salad though.

I served it with a terryaki pork chop, which was also great.

I love this pic, but I hadn't put the feta on yet...so I didn't want you all to miss out on that in the final product picture.

Anyway I hope you are all enjoying these dog days of summer.

Soon there will be snow on the ground and I will be slow cooking stews and baking in the oven again.

ENJOY!
