In the kitchen with Kelley: Mediterranean Watermelon Salad

This salad has something for everyone in my household…

My daughter loves watermelon. My older son is fond of mint. My younger son devours olives. And I am a fan of Vidalia onions.

But the best thing about this salad is that it brings together a few of the staples of the health-saving, heart-healthy and mind-loving Mediterranean diet.

Who would’ve thought that these ingredients would go together so well and be so good for you?
