This luscious summer salad recipe was given to me by Top Chef contestant Andrea Beaman. Crisp, fresh and juicy, it is the perfect antidote to all this heat. It is lovely served along side onion pizza or grilled shrimp. I have made watermelon feta salads in the past, but the Greek twist with fresh oregano and kalamata olives really makes this special. Be sure to make this just before serving or you will have a big juicy puddle at the bottom of your bowl. For more of Andrea’s healthy recipes you can check out her website.

- ¼ c olive oil
- 1 t fresh oregano
- sea salt
- black pepper
- baby greens

- Toss dressing with salad and serve immediately over greens. Enjoy!
