This is the recipe for Nigella's Salad.:http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/watermelon-feta-and-black-olive-salad-205
First and foremost, feta cheese is very,very salty.For this recipe,I think it would be better to buy the ones immersed in olive oil.For every bite of feta cheese,i have to make sure that i eat it with either the greens or the watermelon.Its THAT salty!
I wanted to put olives in my salad,but i forgot to buy it.Oh well..
Adding some croutons would definitely make it taste good too!Othe juicy melons would taste well in it i suppose.
Like my mum,I don't really like mint in anything else except my toothpaste.So that's one of the reason why i omitted the mint leaves.=)
OHHH!A tip i learned from Rachael Ray is that,if its hard to squeeze the lemon,try putting the lemon in the microwave for ten seconds!

BUT STILL!IT'S DELISH!
I really do need to beat myself up for eating junk foods these couple of days!I need to eat healthily again!Ayayayay!Zordon!(power rangers!)
Funny thing.Poor Feta!
Happy studying!(that's what i should be doing!)=p
Till then,Salut,
Love,
