Summer is just around the corner and the markets are stocked with summer fruits. Watermelon is one of my favorites and a bee-line to make childhood. I can remember so many summer days and nights chomping on giant wedges of watermelon, and having seed spitting contests with my brother and cousins. I'm happy to report that I have stopped spitting food for sport, and that I have discovered even more ways to enjoy this summer fruit.
Watermelon and Feta Salad
1 small - med Watermelon, cubed
1 4 - 6 oz package of Feta Cheese, cubed
1 Tbs Mint, julienned (could be substituted with parsley)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 small Red Onion, optional
1/2 C Kalmata Olives, optional
Carve the watermelon in cubes, they should be somewhere around the size of a golf ball. Using your fingers, crumble the feta cheese. In a large bowl toss the watermelon and cheese. Sprinkle with mint, salt and pepper.
If using the red onion, slice into very thin ring using a mandolin and toss with salad.
If using kalamata olives, make sure they are pitted and slice in half, toss with salad.
