Ive been eating a lot of cottage cheese, fruit, and popsicles. Are there any good salad ideas out there?

It's not an immediately obvious combination watermelon, cucumber, olives and feta but one bite will leave you convinced that this savory-sweet summer salad is something truly special. The astringent punch of the olives and feta provides a sophisticated counterpoint to the watery mellowness of the melon and cucumber. With a hunk of bread, it's a lovely light lunch; with practically any grilled meat or fish, it's an ideal summer supper.
