This weekend we had some seriously beautiful weather! It was a perfect 82 degrees with a light breeze so I lit a huge citronella candle and we dined outdoors. I made a Greek style chicken marinated in yogurt served with garlic hummus and a tomato watermelon salad with feta and fresh mint. The salad was my version of Jason's favorite watermelon salad served at our wedding and I would say it was just as much a success! The combination of the refreshingly light flavors and the beautiful weather made for the perfect dinner al fresco. Umm, now that I think about it...can the weekend and weather come back so that we do it all again?

Directions: Cut the melon and tomato both into bite size pieces, and arrange on platter. Lightly drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with fresh chopped mint and crumbled feta cheese. Enjoy!
