Mint Feta Watermelon Salad

March 20, 2016

This salad requires a leap of faith, but no one who I have served it to has regretted making that leap. It is nutritious, savory, refreshing, and easy to assemble. I suggest that anyone making it take the amounts listed below as guidelines - watermelons come in many sizes so adjustments may be necessary (and are easy to make both before and after preparation.)

Ingredients
  • “>

  • Ingredients

  • 1 medium seedless Watermelon
  • 1 Vidalia or Maya Onion, chopped
  • 12 oz crumbled Feta Cheese
  • 1 Medium bunch of mint, minced
  • 1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • Juice of 1/2 Lemon
  • 2 TB Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds (optional)

  • Preparation

  • Chop watermelon into 1 inch cubes and drain in colander for 1/2 hour.
  • While the watermelon drains mix the balsamic, olive oil, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  • Mix the watermelon, feta, onion, and mint in a large bowl.
  • Dress and toss to mix. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Salad does well if the flavors have time to marry and it may be chilled for several hours. It is not as good the second day.
  • A last minute garnish of toasted slivered almonds is nice, but completely optional in case non-nut eaters prefer the salad without.
