– this summer salad is going to make you lose your RIND! It’s perfect for a summer backyard gathering and also travels well in the cooler for a picnic. I love how light and fresh it tastes!
The amounts below are for a party – feel free to reduce the amounts proportionally. You can also omit the cheese and onions to make it vegan or Jain friendly, respectively.
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tbs fresh lemon juice
2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp Tabasco (optional)
10 cups seedless watermelon, scooped into balls with a melon baller or cut into square chunks
2 cups feta cheese, crumbled
1 1/4 cups pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 small sweet diced onion
1 cup coarsely chopped mint leaves
1 In a large bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, salt, Tabasco and pepper
2 Add the watermelon, 3/4 cup mint, feta, olives and onion and toss gently. Chill for an hour
3 Garnish with remaining mint and serve
