My favorite salad for a refreshing summer meal is made with watermelon. This combination of sweet fresh fruit, refreshing mint, salty feta, and a bite of onion creates the perfect bite every time. A few key tips to make sure this is the best salad; make sure you have a ripe watermelon; look for the field spot should be yellow and it should feel a heavy for its size, slice the red onion as thin as possible, I use a mandolin to avoid teary eyes and get it really thin
Ingredients:
- 1 Small Watermelon Cut into cubes
- 1 handful of fresh mint chopped small
- 1/2-1 Red onion cut as thin as possible
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 TBLs Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 TBLS Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Steps:
- Combine your Watermelon, mint, and onion in a large bowl
- In a small sealable jar combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper and shake to combine
- If serving immediately top with feta and dressing, if not wait to dress until just before serving
