Fresh Herb and Watermelon-Feta Salad
With the spiciness of the onions and basil, and the sweetness of the mint and watermelon, the gentle tangy-ness of the feta balances things out perfectly. Great for a summer shin-dig!

Notes
- The original recipe calls for 2 cups of watercress. If you prefer watercress, feel free to substitute it for cilantro in this recipe. If you don't like cilantro or watercress, try substituting 1 cup minced Italian parsley or 2 cups chopped spinach.
