For a refreshing change from traditional Greek salad, try this sweet and tangy summer salad. The red pepper flakes give it true zip. Use them as sparingly or abundantly as you wish.

Ingredients:

8 cups watermelon, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

3/4 cups crumbled feta cheese

2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1 cup chopped fresh mint

6 scallions, sliced very thin

For the dressing:

1/4 cup fresh lemon or lime juice

1/4 cup olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Pinch red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Place all salad ingredients in a bowl.

2. Combine all dressing ingredients, pour over the salad and toss very gently, making sure not to extract moisture from the watermelon. Serve at room temperature.
