This is a simple and delicious accompaniment to any barbequed meat, including burgers. This salad is sweet, salty and refreshing.
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 of medium sized watermelon, diced, approximately 4 cups
3/4 cup cubed good Greek feta
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint (or to taste)
Balsamic glaze (use to taste)
METHOD:
Add the diced watermelon to a serving bowl. Layer 1/2 cup of the cubed feta, and crumble the remaining 1/4 cup of the feta on top. Sprinkle with the chopped mint. Toss the salad gently. Drizzle with Balsamic glaze and serve.
1. Due to the simplicity of this recipe, it is important to choose watermelon that is ripe, sweet and juicy and to use very good quality feta.
2. You can season this salad with freshly ground black pepper. I like it with or without.
3. Mint is a very delicate herb. Only slice/chop once. Repeated slicing/chopping will cause the mint to darken/blacken.
4. Balsamic glaze is a sweet and thick balsamic reduction. A little goes a long way.
