Watermelon Feta Salad
Ingredients:
Watermelon - 6 to 8 cups - 1 inch cubes
Feta Cheese - 1 Block Broken into 1/2 inch chunks
Red Onion - 1/2 cup very thinly sliced
Lime Juice - 1/4 cup - Fresh is Best
Olive Oil - 1/2 cup - Light Flavored works best - (Can sub. Veg Oil)
Apple Cider Vinegar - 2 Tbls
Cucumber - Peeled/Seeded/Cubed 1/2 inch (optional)
Fresh Mint - 8 to 10 leaves - Chiffonade Cut
Fresh Basil - 8 to 10 leaves - Chiffonade Cut (optional but worth it!)
Kosher Salt - 2 Pinches
Pepper - 5 to 6 Fresh Grinds
- Cut and Cube the Watermelon and place in a strainer in the sink - Will help drain off a lot of the watermelon juice.
- Thinly slice the Red Onion and place in a bowl with half of the Fresh Lime Juice - This will help remove a lot of the acidity from the onion but will leave the onion crisp and with All the Great Flavor!
- Mix together the Olive Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, remainder of Lime Juice and Salt & Pepper.
- Put all the ingredients in a large bowl, pour the dressing over and gently toss together.
- Great Immediately or Chill for a few hours!
This recipe is Crisp and Light the first day but the leftovers on the 2nd day - Just as Delish!!
ENJOY!!!
