Recipe Notes
This recipe comes together easily. Just chop your watermelon and peaches, slice your cucumbers and toss with vinegar or lemon juice and sprinkle with bit of feta or ricotta salata.
Ricotta Salata cheese is made by salting and pressing fresh ricotta then aging it for a few months. The resulting cheese is like feta but with a more delicate flavor.
Since it may be hard to find depending on where you live, feta makes a fine substitute. If you don't like feta, Parmesan shavings or crumbled goats cheese would also work nicely.

Not sure if i am writing this in the correct spot. If I were to give advice to a New WW I would tell them to question someone that is doing well on the program. get thier tips and ideas on products to purchase. My words of wisdom would be to not be afraid to speak up. Remember, it is the squeaky wheel that gets greased. Ask questions, eat all your points and exercise as much as you are able. best of luck with this wonderful program. I truly love it. Donna Marie
