Feta, Lemon & Melon Salad

This is from my Love of Lemons book, which is all about lemons but does have one chapter of recipes. The rest is a discussion of lemons in (mostly) Italian cooking. Also has fabulous pictures.

It calls for cantaloupe, cucumber, zucchini, and the juice of one lemon. Lettuce or arugula, mint sprigs, and feta cheese. Topped with toasted pumpkin seeds. The dressing is olive oil and lemon peel squigglies.


Pic is from the book and shows squash blossoms, but the recipe doesn't mention them.

This probably will not be enough, as I've been ridding beds of crabgrass all day, so if it's not I will have the rest of my Tuscan White Bean soup.

Cherry kombucha.

Dessert: Rice pudding with blueberries. Cold Earl Grey tea.
