This salad is so refreshing! It's a great starter to any summer meal. The cool, sweet watermelon and the salty feta create a match made in heaven. Combined with the zing of red onion and lime, and garnished with a chiffonade of fresh mint - a summer salad doesn't get much better! My kids love the watermelon/feta combination and it's completely palate pleasing for adults too. Enjoy this taste bud tantalizing dish!
La Recette:
4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
2 cups feta cheese, cubed
1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh mint, chiffonade

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar (or any white wine vinegar)

-The salad serves four so place a cup of cubed watermelon in each bowl. Next arrange the 1/2 cup of feta in each of the four bowls and throw on a few slices of the thinly sliced red onion.
-For the dressing, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until well combined - about 15-20 seconds. Drizzle the dressing over each salad and garnish with the mint chiffonade.
Loved this recipe! Even my kids ate it.
