Summer watermelon picnic salad from Local Dirt: Seasonal Recipes for Eating Close to Home (page 239) by Andrea Bemis

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute berries or stone fruits for watermelon; parsley, mint, or dill for basil; and ricotta cheese, goat cheese, plain yogurt, or crème fraîche for feta cheese. You may use the How to make crushed red pepper flakes recipe on p. 42.

    Very good. Nice mix of flavors, sweet savory and salty. Simple perfect for summer. Definitely a redo.
