Hello my friends! It's already July - how could that have happened? We have already passed mid-summer and while the days are getting shorter again, they keep rewarding us with warm temperatures and the best summer produce we could imagine. Currently I'm enjoying all the cherries I can get and I keep putting them in galettes, pies, on my morning p&b toast or even into my salads. Yes, I'm a sucker for fruit in salads, but that's a different ...

Greek Watermelon Salad with Mint Dressing
There's a bit of melancholy hanging in the air when I think about this salad. It's already the end of summer and watermelon and tomatoes are still offered in abundance, but deep within I also know that this might be the last time I'll fill my plate with this refreshing summer salad.
