I have always been rather skeptical of this summertime hit. The idea of combining watermelon, cheese, red onions and balsamic vinegar did not sit well with me.
Until now.
I decided to tread lightly on my first attempt, and worked with basil, mint and feta cheese on a hot summer day. It was absolutely freaking delicious. The fresh ingredients complimented each other so well that I just started eating right in the kitchen, with my friends waiting at the dining table. (Pardon my manners)
Now that I’m more open to the idea of a watermelon ‘salad’ I’ll be experimenting with red onion and balsamic vinegar soon.
This salad does not refrigerate well and it’s best prepared just before serving.
Ingredients:
Disclaimer: My ration for this salad is going to be very mum-like.
– 1/2 chilled small seedless watermelon, cut into small chunks
– Handful of chopped basil leaves
– Handful of chopped mint leaves
– Feta cheese as much as you desire
– 1/2 tbsp of lime
– 1 tsp of olive oil
Directions:
Gently toss everything together and feast your eyes as well as your heart. Enjoy!
I am having a very jazz-ey night, currently playing the way you look tonight by Sinatra. I have yet to meal prep for the week tonight so I will be dancing away to jazz on my kitchen tiles.
