I love going to restaurants, then backwards engineering dishes at home…particularly, salads and Asian cuisine so you will likely spot me in Uwajimaya in Seattle on the weekends. :)

This colorful salad speaks of summer freshness with tangy feta counterbalancing the airy, sweet melon.

Try a mix of yellow and red watermelon for even more flair.
