Fabulous fruity, but savory, salads

Today I've got 3 super summer salads for you!!   Too many times we think of fruit salads as just a bunch of fruits thrown together and used as a light dessert...nothing wrong with that at all!!  In fact, I love that kind of dessert, especially in the summer time when there are so many types of fruits to choose from. But, in doing that, we don't fully utilize fruits!  They make a wonderful counterpoint to a savory salad and I've got 3 recipes for you today that do just that... This first recipe I actually posted last summer, but thought I'd repeat it since it's just SOOO good! Watermelon-cucumber salad 3 cups cubed, seeded watermelon 1/2 of a large English cucumber, diced with the skin on 1 handful cilantro, chopped 1 jalapeno pepper, diced 4 oz. crumbled feta cheese Place all the above ingredients in a large bowl and stir.  Then, in a separate container, make a dressing from: the juice of 2 limes about 1/3-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper,
