Author Notes
I threw together this salad to sate a craving for watermelon and because I was looking for something that was both sweet and savory to serve alongside some summer lobsters. I love the sweet mixture of sweet watermelon, peppery arugula, clean-tasting parsley, salty olives, sharp onion (soak slices in cold water for a few minutes to lessen the impact), creamy cheese, tart lime, and unctuous olive oil. All the measurements below are rough; proportion the ingredients as you see fit. —Cave Cibum
