Watermelon-Feta Salad with Fresh Herbs
With peak-season produce, you don't need many flavor embellishments--in this case, just a little cheese, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a sprinkling of salt.

- Wine note: There's no better match for this refreshing watermelon salad than a chilled dry rosé. Both are cold, pink, crisp, and fruity--a magical marriage that's a must-try this summer. Two of my favorite rosés, one still, the other sparkling: Robert Hall Rosé de Robles 2005 from Paso Robles, California ($15) and Korbel Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine (nonvintage) from California ($11). --Karen MacNeil
