Watermelon Salad with Feta and Mint

Nothing starts a summer meal better than this beautiful salad! It’s surprising, refreshing and scrumptious! I love how the black olives tease you by looking like seeds but of course, you use a seedless watermelon. The olives are a delicious burst of salty goodness in contrast to the sweet watermelon. Adapted from Jacques Pepin’s recipe in the 2007 issue of Food and Wine magazine.
