The salad looks very yum! We are lucky here in SE MA to have a wonderful local feta made by Narragansett Dairy in RI. It is the only feta I buy and i do buy lots of it. They also make a very good ricotta and a burrata that is quite morish.

Isn't it fun finding the local dairies? Although I told people not to go crazy looking for the Maplebrook Feta, I have been known to drive the 25 minutes to the other co-op when the one two blocks away from me is out... it's just such a treat!! I will look out for Narragansett Dairy. My cousin lives in RI.

Hello Ali,

Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe!

I made it but added celery, black cured olives and crumbled the Feta cheese. I used my cherry tomatoes from my garden. ☺️ So good!! Adding the watermelon gave a sweet taste to the salad!!

I flagged that salad to try as soon as I got the book! It looks delicious.

Do you think it really depends on nice tomatoes? I have yet to spot any good ones near me.

I do think good tomatoes make a difference but I buy the cherry tomatoes in the clam shell containers at the grocery store which are not from local farms, and they are often really really good. I'd say try for those if you can't find others!
