  Re: (...)
What a great summer time salad - and, I was really surprised at how well Roy liked it. He finished the bowl as he was doing dishes. This type of salad is usually not what he is into! And, so pretty, too.

Okay, I've been intrigued by the whole feta and watermelon thing for a while now, but I still can't wrap my brain around it. Now you add shrimp to the mix? This Southern Coastal gal is struggling to imagine this! This picture has my taste buds confused! LOL!

I'm having the same problem with this as Daphne mentioned. But, I'll take your word for it, Jean, that the combination does work.

I still haven't finagled the fryer from my mom. But I plan to try it one of these days!

And if I can screw up the courage to try the watermelon and feta....been tempted lately...and I like it, I'll try it the second time this way. You haven't let me down yet!

I love watermelon and feta together, over micro greens with fresh basil and a balsamic glaze. Have never thought to add shrimp!
