Watermelon Feta Salad with Lime Honey Dressing
This salad is quick and easy to put together, and very versatile. The watermelon, feta, mint and lime juice are essential, in my humble opinion. As for the other ingredients, well that's up to you ... leave them out or switch them out. After all, when you make it, it's your salad!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
- about a 2-lb wedge of watermelon (weighed with the rind on)
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 2 inches English cucumber (optional), diced
- 100 g feta cheese, cubed
- 12 leaves mint, rolled and sliced into fine ribbons (chiffonade)
- 1-1/2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice (about half of a fat and happy lime)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (this is the time to use the good stuff!)
- 1 tsp honey
- a few grindings of black pepper
- pinch of salt
How To Make This Recipe
-
Slice the watermelon into wedges, then 1-inch slices and carefully carve the flesh from the rind. Then slice it into large cubes (about an inch wide) and place them in a large bowl. Add the cucumber, onion, cheese and mint.
-
Put the lime juice, olive oil, honey, pepper and salt in a small bowl and whisk briskly with a fork until it all comes together. Pour over the salad and toss gently.
-
Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate for no more than a few hours so the watermelon's at its peak of freshness.
