    This was fantastic. Was a bit skeptical at first. The watercress tasted a little bitter/strong by itself but with the watermelon, feta, lemon zest/juice, olive oil and pepper, it was outstanding and very refreshing. The ingredients went so well together. Delicious, light and especially good and appreciated on a hot day (90 degrees here today and....it's easy to make. Nice! Will be making this one lots.

    This seemed so unique, I just had to try it. The dish is unbelievably good! It's hard to quit eating it. My whole family loved it. I'm printing off the recipe for family and friends. Giada's recipe's never disappoint. Always simple, always delicious. Thanks Giada!

    Delicious. I used arugula instead of watercress. Unique, and plenty of room for improvisation. I add crumbled bacon- the crisp saltiness contrasts well with the sweet watermelon. Make the dressing portion of this ahead of time, and only add it when you're ready to serve it- that way the ingredients don't have too much time to soak up the flavors, and they still retain their own oomph without being overwhelmed.
