REFRESHING WATERMELON FETA SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• To prepare this watermelon feta salad recipe start by removing the rind and seeds from the watermelon, and cut into triangular chunks. Cut the feta cheese into small cubes, or bigger if you prefer, and place both into a large bowl. Slice the onions into paper-thin slices and place in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients, add the chopped mint leaves and the kalamata olives and set aside. (If you choose to prepare this watermelon feta salad recipe using cucumber too, then peel and slice the cucumber into half-moons and place in the bowl with rest of the ingredients).
• Prepare the dressing for the watermelon feta salad. In a small bowl add the olive oil, lemon juice and brown sugar and season. Whisk the ingredients to combine, taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Pour the dressing over the watermelon feta salad and toss to coat.
• Divide the watermelon feta salad among individual serving plates and serve immediately. Enjoy!

AMAZING WATERMELON GREEK SALAD WITH FETA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, cover the onion slices with the lime juice. The acid in the lime juice will help to mellow the onion a bit.
• In a large salad bowl, combine the watermelon, feta, olives, and onions (without the lime juice, but save the juice for the vinegrette) Set aside.
• Wisk together the reserved lime juice, olive oil and as much balsamic vinegar to suit your taste and preferences. Keep in mind there is quite a bit of flavour in the salad from the feta and olives so just 1 or 2 tbsp usually does the trick.
• Pour vinegrette over melon mixture and toss. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
