As a kid, I always put salt on my watermelon. Not sure who I learned it from but I love the combination of sweet and salty. This feta cheese creates the same sweet and salty flavor in this delicious summer salad. I added a drizzle of balsamic vinegar glaze. Yum!
Watermelon, Basil & Feta Salad
1 small seedless watermelon (or 1/4 of a large one)
1/2 of a red onion (I omitted this)
16 leaves fresh basil
1/4 cup (2 ounces crumbled Feta
2 tablespoons e.v. olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Balsamic Vinegar Glaze
Cut the watermelon in half. Using a large spoon, scoop out bite-size
pieces of the watermelon and add to a large bowl or platter (you should
get about 8 cups).
Slice the onion into thin half moons and scatter over the watermelon. Then scatter the basil leaves over the top.
Crumble the Feta over the salad. Drizzle with the oil, lime juice, balsamic vinegar
and sprinkle with the salt and pepper (about 6 turns on pepper mill).
