I just found this in a "Prevention Magazine" article about Emeril Lagasse and fresh, in season side dishes.

It sounds interesting and very in season.  I have most of the stuff at home.  I will substitute sugar free jam.  I think I will try this tomorrow for the hot dog party.

Tossed Greens with Watermelon and Feta Cheese

Swee****ermelon and sharp, salty feta cheese complement each other beautifully here. But if you don't like feta, fresh mozzarella is good with the melon too.

1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 thin slices jalapeño chile pepper, seeds removed
2 tsp raspberry, strawberry, or currant jelly
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp minced garlic
3 1/2 lb watermelon, seeds removed, flesh cut into 1/2" dice (about 3 1/2 c)
1 tsp olive oil
6 oz torn mixed salad greens (6 c)
1/2 c sliced red onion (about 1 sm)
1/3 c crumbled feta cheese
