Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 small watermelon (3 pounds), rind removed, cut into 1-inch chunks and chilled
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice or lemon juice (both are excellent, see which one you prefer)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Small pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese (sheep feta recommended for the creamiest texture and best flavor contrast)

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper.
    Pour the dressing over the chilled diced watermelon along with the mint. Toss gently to combine. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and serve immediately.
    *THIS SALAD IS BEST PREPARED JUST BEFORE SERVING

Notes

* This is also terrific with some arugula added to it.
