Watermelon Feta Salad Super easy and super gorgeous
This is my version and there are many variations to this. Some recipes use black or green olives, sliced onions, crushed dried herbs - somehow I dont like the taste of onions paired with watermelon and I like to keep this as minimalistic as possible.
The salty feta plus sweet watermelon plus sour balsamic is a drop-dead gorgeous combination that few people can resist.

Watermelon Feta Salad Super easy and super gorgeous
Tell me this picture doesnt want to make you grab a fork and have a go at it? And let me tell you this is a picture from my iPhone 3GS (yes, Im slowly working towards the fund for an iPhone4S). I know this is not the perfect salad for winter, but with a bunch of other spicy, hot foods on the table, it goes beautifully. Handful of ingredients, no cooking involved, can easily make a BIG batch - it doesnt get easier than that.

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey (optional)
handful of freshly plucked and washed (and dried) mint leaves
1 cucumber, halve lengthwise, remove seeds and cut into half moons
Directions
- Take a large platter, scatter the watermelon chunks and grapes.
- Spoon small chunks of feta and scatter them evenly across platter.
- Do the same with the mint leaves and cucumber.
- Drizzle olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey* around the entire platter.
- This is one salad that SHOULD NOT be tossed or the feta will become a paste and the salad will look all messed up. Let this sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes and then serve as it is.
*If the watermelon is sweet, you dont need to use honey.
Also, its not necessary to completely deseed the watermelon, which is a time consuming and next to impossible task.
