On some days summer finally graces us with its present. I hope there will be some more warm and sunny days, so that I can recharge my soul batteries before the next winter comes.

So if it is hot outside, this delicious, cool salad is just right. It is very light and cools you down from the inside.

If you cannot imagine, that watermelon would taste great with a tangy dressing, you should definitely try this salad! To make this salad special, I added some tofu feta. I have used the recipe for it with my gyros dish already and since then I always make a jar in stock. I serve the salad with oven fresh baguette. Either I bake it myself or I heat up a stone oven baguette from the supermarket. Enjoy your fresh watermelon salad!

Love,
