Watermelon Feta Salad with Mint
- 1 whole Chilled Watermelon (7-8 Lbs.)
- 1/2 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 whole Limes, Juiced
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 cup Fresh Chopped Mint Leaves
- 1- 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese (goat Or Sheep Milk Feta Is Best)
- Note: This salad is best made just prior to serving.
- Prepare one hour or less before your meal.
- Cut rind from the watermelon, then chop the fruit into 1-inch chunks.
- Place chunks in a colander to drain as your chop.
- In a small bowl, whisk together oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
- Place watermelon in a large salad bowl.
- Pour dressing and chopped mint over the watermelon and toss gently to coat.
- Pour the crumbled feta into the salad bowl and stir gently to integrate the cheese into the salad.
- Serve.
- The salt and the citrus in the dressing will activate the juices in the watermelon, so a lot of liquid will collect in the bottom of the salad bowl.
- This is normal, and does not affect the flavor.
- To avoid having liquid transfer to your plate, serve the salad with a slotted spoon.
