Watermelon Feta Salad
by Christina Cherrier, Eatwell 101
Ingredients:
1 small seedless watermelon, diced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
Salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
(optional) pinch of cayenne or half a finely chopped jalapeno, to taste*
Recipe:
1. Soak sliced red onion in cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry. This will help get rid of the onion’s pungent flavor.
2. Mix oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper, and optional spice* in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake to emulsify, taste and adjust seasoning.
3. Add watermelon to a salad bowl or a shallow serving plate. Top with crumbled feta and garnish with red onion and cilantro. Add a good drizzle of the lime dressing. Enjoy!
