Honeydew Cucumber Salad with Feta

Tis the season for cool, crisp salads in their amazing endless variety.  
I prepped this beautiful light salad for a BBQ at a dear friend’s house and almost ate the entire bowl before it even walked out the door.
Sweet honeydew, crunchy cucumber and creamy feta combine with a bright lemon dressing, a touch of red onion and fresh dill.
The result?  A lovely side dish that is perfect for summer picnics or BBQ’s on the back deck.
