Recipe for Watermelon Feta Salad
Tell me this picture doesn’t 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, I’m 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 fill a big platter – it doesn’t get easier than that.
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 don’t 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.
