Great news! Your favorite niece is getting married - and it's a big, formal affair. So what are you going to eat at the reception? Be daring. Don't be afraid to speak up. Look for the fresh and colorful foods if there's a buffet. If it's a sit-down dinner, ask for a vegetable plate. When possible, make the eye-healthy choice. Go for the garden salad instead of the potato or pasta salad. The garden salad has plenty of red, orange, and yellow vegetables.
Feta Cheese and Watermelon Salad
- ¼ small watermelon cut into cubes, with seeds removed
- 100 g feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
- 1¼ cups spinach leaves, ripped into bite sized pieces
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- 1 large cucumber, peeled and cubed
- 1 bunch basil (about 1/8 cup), cut in small pieces
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh ground black pepper

Put the melon, feta, and cucumber cubes in a mixing bowl. Add the spinach (or other leafy greens), basil, and pine nuts. Toss gently. Drizzle with the olive oil and black pepper. Toss gently again and serve.
