Watermelon Feta Salad W/Mint

Oct 8

plated watermelon salad with mint and feta

Watermelon and feta salad is the perfect flavor bomb in salad form. It is perfect in the summer when watermelon is at peak flavor. I used fermented watermelon that I made, see post.

Ingredients:

1 c watermelon, cut into cubes

1/2 c feta

1/4 c chopped walnut

5 sliced green olives

2 stems worth fresh mint

Juice and zest of 1 lime

1/4 c apple cider vinegar

1/2 c avocado oil

1 shallot

2 handfuls arugula

1 serrano

Pinch kosher salt

Thinly slice shallots, place in a glass mixing bowl. Lightly salt to help pull some sweetness out of the shallots. Add vinegar and the juice of 1 lime. (I also used 2 tbsp brine from my lacto fermented watermelon). Let sit to marinate for a couple minutes.

whisking oil into vinegar to make a loose vinaigrette

Add lime zest and drizzle in the oil while whisking. This is a loose vinaigrette. Add mint, feta, arugula, watermelon and olives. Toss gently and plate. Top with chopped walnuts and a few more drops of lime juice. SUMMER PERFECT SALAD!!!

Enjoy!
