Delicious Summer Watermelon Feta Salad
Ingredients:
4 cups of cubed watermelon (chilled)
1 cup of crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped or torn
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional for a tangy twist)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
A pinch of salt (optional, as feta is already salty)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces, chop or tear the mint leaves, and crumble the feta cheese if not already done.
Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, gently toss the cubed watermelon and crumbled feta cheese together.
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the olive oil (and balsamic vinegar if using) over the watermelon and feta mixture. Gently toss again to evenly coat the ingredients.
Add Mint and Season: Sprinkle the chopped or torn mint leaves over the salad. Give it a final gentle toss. Season with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt if needed. Remember, the feta adds saltiness, so add additional salt sparingly.
Chill (Optional): For an extra refreshing experience, you can chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh.
Serve: Dish out the salad into serving bowls or plates. This salad makes a fantastic side dish for grilled meats or a light, stand-alone meal.
Tips for Variation:
Add a Crunch: For added texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts such as almonds or walnuts on top.
Make it Zesty: A squeeze of lime juice can add a zesty, refreshing twist to the salad.
Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with other herbs. Basil or cilantro can offer a different but equally delicious flavor profile.
