Looking for a nice alternative to grilled chicken? These turkey cutlets marinates in the zesty flavor of a lime, oil and cumin for just 30 minutes. For a more elegant look, you can use a melon baller instead of watermelon cubes to make this delicious salad. The feta, shallots and watermelon offer the perfect mixture of savory and sweet in the salad. For a change from feta, give ricotta salata a try. It’s salted, pressed, and aged and has the same salty flavor as feta. Unlike feta, ricotta salata is not aged in brine, so it has a drier texture.

Lime zest

2 tsp, grated

Fresh lime juice

5 Tbsp
