Watermelon Feta Salad


Another summer favorite!!

Ingredients

1 small seedless watermelon
1 onion (red or sweet) --- optional
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2-4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint (from the garden)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions

Remove melon rind and cut melon into bite sized pieces. You can use a melon baller for this, but this creates a lot of melon waste and I'm not sure it is worth the extra effort. Peel and chop the onion into thin rings or small pieces. I used the Vidalia Onion Chopper (love this gadget!!) to get tiny squares.

In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, and pepper. Slowly add the olive oil and then the mint. In a large bowl, combine the melon, onion, and feta. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently until everything is mixed. Garnish with extra mint sprigs if available. Enjoy!!
