"The saltiness of the cheese just complements and brings out the juicy sweetness of the watermelon. This salad is lightly dressed with oil and vinegar. From "The Great British Kitchen" published by the British Food Trust."

It's very fresh and tasty. I only omitted the parsley. I liked the watermelon and feta. Sweet and salty. The dressing is just perfect. DH liked it but not as much as me. It's not his thing sweet and salty. Thanks threeovens :) Made for ZWT8 for Diners, Winers and Chives -
This salad was a pleasant surprise! I couldn't find cheshire cheese so just used plain goat cheese. Loved the dressing on this; it brought out the flavor of the cheese and watermelon without overpowering anything. The herby parsley was a great final touch. Really enjoyed this - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for ZWT8, Chefs gone WILD! -
Very refreshing with an interesting combination of flavors. I made it exactly as written using Cheshire cheese. Like another reviewer, I've made this for breakfast. I would be a wonderful accompaniment for a barbecued meal. Made for ZWT8 -

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
