I don't know about you, but I have been DYING from the heat lately! It has been blistering and today was no exception! Even as I type this at nearly 7:00pm it is 84F outside...ridiculous! To add to the fantastical sweat fest I'm having, I menu planned to roast a chicken tonight. Oh yes...I am a genius!!! So in my attempts to stay as cool as possible I whipped up a little summer salad with fruit fresh from the fridge to cool me off and help think of blissful winter days basking in the snow!!! Here's what I "cooked" up!
Watermelon, Orange and Feta Salad
Adapted from Everyday Food, Issue 84
1/4 of a small seedless watermelon, rind removed and flesh cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 large orange, pith and peel removed, divided into sections
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
2-4 teaspoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
- On a platter or in a bowl combine first five ingredients and toss. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Cover and refrigerate until just before serving. Serves 4.
- Weight Watchers Points Plus Value: 2pts. per serving
Happy summer salads everyone!!!

I'm planning to make the Rachel Ray Fig, Prosciutto, Chicken and Hazelnut Salad tonight. That is, if I ever get out of the house again to buy the chicken breast!
