You know I’m a huge fan of fresh watermelon. This light and delicious salad, shared courtesy of Cambria Style 2018 Summer Issue (on stands now), incorporates fresh watermelon, blueberries and watermelon radishes, served on a bed of baby greens, and topped with prosciutto and feta cheese.

Pairing recommendation, courtesy of Leslee Miller, Certified Sommelier of Amusée : Cava Brut Rosé “Nu Allongé.” “Sparkling rosé is delicious with a watermelon salad, especially one with cured meat. The juicy notes of fresh strawberry, melon, and tangerine make this bubbly rosé from Penedès, Spain, a refreshing complement.”
