I have a couple of different recipes for watermelon, feta and herb salads that I've been meaning to try, but this is the only one I've seen with pumpkin seeds.

I do remember eating a similar salad in a kibbutz, not sure if they were pumpkin seeds or some nuts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053193.post-1120517737642560332005-07-05T00:55:00.000+02:002005-07-05T00:55:00.000+02:00Clare - summer will be right there, I know (but yo...Clare - summer will be right there, I know (but you can't have mine - yet - I like it too much ;-))<BR/><BR/>Stephanie - wait, make that STEPHANIE!! I can't believe it! But you know, I agree with Niki, if they're not at their absolute peak, I wouldn't go there either. Yuk, those lint-like ones that are all fluffy! But you know what? Rather spend your time eating something you like than something you don't really care for, so good for you on coming forward! Speaking of childhood and watermelon, my Mom has the greatest pictures of me eating watermelon when I'm two or three years old... hmmm, should've used those for the meme!<BR/><BR/>Niki - sounds like a nice Christmas to me!Cerebrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583325839191361818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053193.post-1120455355431330462005-07-04T07:35:00.000+02:002005-07-04T07:35:00.000+02:00It can be so easy to get bland tasting watermelon,...It can be so easy to get bland tasting watermelon, but when you get one in midsummer, full of sweetness it's a revelation. <BR/>I love that Nigella watermelon and fetta salad. It's the perfect thing to have on Christmas day for us, in the summer heat. After a traditional rost lunch and plum pudding, all I crave in the evening is fresh seafood and that salad.Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724833882784937754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053193.post-1120331963130129792005-07-02T21:19:00.000+02:002005-07-02T21:19:00.000+02:00I'm almost afraid to admit this in a public forum....I'm almost afraid to admit this in a public forum...ehem. My name is Stephanie, and I don't like watermelon.<BR/><BR/>There. I said it.<BR/><BR/>I grew up eating watermelon all summer long, but over the last five or six years, I've realized I don't actually care for it. It just doesn't have enough flavor for me, I suppose.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17090435662350578970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053193.post-1120328206516059902005-07-02T20:16:00.000+02:002005-07-02T20:16:00.000+02:00This looks so good!

I have become a pumpkin seed fan of late and I can see how their earthy nuttiness would go brilliantly with the salty feta and sweet juicy watermelon....
