Summer in a bowl: salty and sweet, with a hint of acidity. Make it with the best tomatoes you can find, a cold watermelon, less dressing than you would think and, if you can find it, Bulgarian feta.

WATERMELON, TOMATO AND CHEESE SALAD
What's the watermelon doing in this recipe? That's what I asked myself too, but it's an awfully good combination! I've made this several times, and it's based off of a recipe I cut out of the NY Times a while ago. Really nice for a spring or summer side dish.

WATERMELON, TOMATO AND KALAMATA SALAD
I recently ordered a salad quite similar to this in a local restaurant that I simply loved. When I saw this one on the web I just have to save it. Salata Ricotta is a semihard Italian cheese that can be found at most gourmet markets or Italian groceries. If you can't find it, you can substitute crumbled feta (which will be a bit saltier) or just leave it out.
