  • 3 ounce feta cheese
  • 1 cup fresh mint
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • black pepper(optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Directions: Cut watermelon in half and remove watermelon from rind. You can either spoon it out like a mad man, carefully remove it and cut it into squares, or scoop it all out with a melon baller-which is what I did. I liked the look of all those succelent balls of watermelon.

Step 2

So, scoop out your watermelon and put it in a bowl-I used the leftover water melon rind for my bowl, and you’re going to add your dressing, which is so simple, soooo easy.

Step 3

Make the Salad Dressing: Add your oil, and vinegar. No salt necessary as the feta is salty.

Step 4

Mix this all together and chill for 15 minutes, which will give you time to prep your mint.

Step 5

Chiffanade the mint, which means cut it into fine ribbons. Roll up the mint leaves like a cigar and then cut it into nice strips or ribbons. I had my daughter and her friend do this for me; they are 10 so you can see how easy this is.

Step 6

Next crumble over with that delicious creamy feta cheese. The salty contrast with the sweet melon is so crazy good that it is hard to describe.

Step 7

To finish add the fresh mint, which brings it all together. And a little more black pepper at the end so there’s a little on the feta.
