Refreshing Watermelon Feta Salad with Mint.#summerchallenge1

During the summer, one of my fav snacks is freshly sliced chilled watermelon, cheese and bikkies. Watermelon Feta Salad has the saltiness of the crumbly feta cheese that is a perfect compliment to the sweetness of the watermelon with refreshing taste of mint and lime. It’s a cool, sweet, salty combination that looks gorgeous on the table for Alfresco dining. Nothing says summer like fresh watermelon and feta! Nom Nom☺

Ingredient

1/2

seedless watermelon, chilled

4 tbsp

extra virgin olive oil

whole lemon, juiced and it's zest

1/2 cup

fresh mint leaves, chopped

1/2 cups

crumbled feta cheese

2 tbsp

Honey

to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

This salad is best made just prior to serving. I prepare it an hour before the meal.

* Step 2

Cut skin off the watermelon, then cut the fruit into small chunks. Place chunks in a colander to drain the juice.

* Step 3

Take Feta cheese and crumb it into small pieces with a fork. Squeeze the lemon for lemon juice and use a cheese grater for lemon zest from the rind.

* Step 4

Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, fresh lime juice, lemon zest, salt, honey and black pepper.

* Step 5

Place watermelon in a large salad bowl. Drizzle dressing and chopped mint over the watermelon and toss gently to coat the salad. Add the crumbled feta into the salad bowl and stir gently to mix the Feta cheese into the salad. Serve.
