Watermelon & feta

When it’s too hot to eat, you want to sit on your balcony hoping for some breeze, have a cold bit of watermelon (to quench the thirst as much as the hunger) and alternate with a bit of salty cheese. This combination may sound strange but is commonplace in the Middle East and the Balkans, and in a way is not so different from the more familiar melon and ham combo: sweet and juicy meets dry and salty.
