Watermelon & Feta Salad With Ouzo Dressing

A refreshing and unusual salad, ideal as part of a Mediterranean meal on a hot summer's day. I have posted this along with three other recipes using ouzo, from an article featuring ouzo, in the October 2005 issue of 'Australian Good Taste'. The other three recipes are Chocolate Bullets, Ouzo-Poached Cherries With Waffles & Cinnamon & Ouzo Iced Tea.
