Ingredients




1 seedless watermelon, sweet and delicious
3 ounces (or more depending on what you like) feta cheese, a nice creamy one
1 cup of fresh mint
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar-very good quality
black pepper if you like pepper

Preparation

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. 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. 3 Make the Salad Dressing:  Add your oil, and vinegar.  No salt necessary as the feta is salty. 4 Mix this all together and chill for 15 minutes, which will give you time to prep your mint. 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. 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. 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.
