There is fresh basil growing in my garden and fresh radishes at the market. The watermelon is still coming from the States, but Watermelon and Radish Salad is something I like to enjoy all summer long. I switch over to our fresh melons, when they come into season.
To the watermelon and radish combination, you add crumble Feta and a Lemon Basil Vinaigrette.
It is a great luncheon salad or a dinner salad with grilled salmon, chicken or beef.
Very Yummy!

If watermelon is not available, a nice change is to substitute 1 cup of blueberries  | |
