Have you heard? Savory fruit salads are pretty much the it summer food right now. Enter Laura Jackson and Alice Levine’s watermelon salad with almonds and dill from their cookbook, Round to Ours: Setting the Mood and Cooking the Food: Menus for Every Gathering. It’s ready in 15 minutes flat, and it doesn’t skimp on the creamy feta.
Ingredients

½ cup almonds, roughly chopped
1 small watermelon, peeled and cubed
10 ounces feta

Large bunch of dill, roughly chopped
Sea salt and black pepper
Directions
1. Place the shallots in a bowl and cover with cider vinegar. Set aside.
