Watermelon Feta Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

  1. About 4 cups of watermelon cubes or balls (seedless or seeds removed)
  2. 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese
  3. 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (or a combination of mint and basil if preferred)
  4. 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional, for those who like a little bite)
  5. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  6. 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
  7. Salt, to taste (remember feta is already salty)
  8. Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  9. 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or almonds (optional for crunch)
  10. Optional: Balsamic reduction or glaze for drizzling

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl. Thinly slice the red onion, chop the mint leaves, and crumble the feta if not already crumbled.
  2. Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lime or lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt (be cautious due to feta's saltiness) and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning as per taste.
  3. Combine: Gently mix the watermelon, feta, mint, and red onion (if using) in the large bowl.
  4. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Ensure all the ingredients are lightly coated with the dressing.
  5. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates. Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts or almonds if you're using them. If desired, drizzle a bit of balsamic reduction or glaze over the top for an added depth of flavor.
  6. Serve immediately, and enjoy this refreshing, sweet and salty delight!

Note: This salad is best eaten fresh. If you plan to eat it later, you might want to keep the dressing separate and mix it in just before serving to keep the watermelon crisp.
