One of Cat Cora's signature dishes is a watermelon, feta, and mint salad (a nod to her Greek heritage). Here, she gives the recipe an Italian accent.

3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 4-pound seedless watermelon, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 6 cups)

1/2 pound ricotta salata (salted dry ricotta cheese),* cut into 1/4-inch cubes

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Whisk first 3 ingredients in small bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Place watermelon and ricotta salata in medium serving bowl. Drizzle with dressing; toss. Sprinkle with pine nuts.
*Available at supermarkets, Italian markets, and specialty foods stores.
