It’s another month of Secret Recipe Club. This month, I was lucky enough to be assigned La Phemme Phoodie, a delightful blog on food, travel, and eating in Philly.

It was a tough choice, but I finally decided to make this Watermelon Feta salad,
adapted only slightly to what we had on hand. It was fun and delicious, and my mom helped.
We cubed about 4 cups of watermelon, peeled and cubed a cucumber (the very last one in the garden!), threw in some crumbled feta, and drizzled everything with Olive Orchard Greek oil. Perfect side!
I have been wanting to try a watermelon salad for ages, but my 2nd son keeps yelling that it’s blaspheme. (I really need to wait until he is GONE and do it anyway!) It sounds so tasty.
It is definitely for the more adventurous palate! My hubs (mostly a meat and potatoes man) gave it a no thanks…
This looks like a great recipe. It is fun cooking with you in the SRC. Hope you are having a great day and thanks for sharing!

Thanks Miz Helen – you too!
Watermelon salad is a favorite in our home and your version looks delicious.
If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my group “A” SRC recipe this month: Welsh Cakes.

Lisa – I totally checked out Welsh cakes already! I was excited to see it. There is a huge Welsh cultural element where I am from in Southern Ohio, and those cakes were something we saw a lot. We called them Welsh Tea Cakes. Your post has inspired me to dig out that old recipe and give it a whirl!
Oh wow – you got a great blog this month!
I’m new to the SRC this month. I hope you’ll stop by and pay me a visit.

I loved your Gooey Butter Cake! I have a lot of family in St Louis and butter cake is big in St Louis for sure! We can’t get them from any bakery here in Ohio that I know of. I’ll have to try it soon!
I had watermelon and feta salad for the first time this summer and loved the sweet salty contrast – it’s a keeper!
Laura your salad looks great. So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the lovely compliment!
Not bad. I don’t usually use watermelon myself, but I’d love to get a taste of that.
Yum! Looks great — I’m loving SRC, so many great new recipes to try!
What a perfect summer salad. This looks delicious. Visiting from SRC.
Fun looking at all those recipes!
Yeah, stopping by before I head to NYC, plane leaves in 2 hours. Thank you so much for being a part of the SRC with me.
