Watermelon, Feta and Mint Salad
The sweetness of the juicy watermelon, the creamy-salty feta and minty taste of this salad is so refreshing and light. We gave each serving a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of EV olive oil.

Instructions
Add the watermelon chunks, cheese cubes and mint to a large bowl and toss to combine.
Portion onto individual salad plates. Squeeze a lemon wedge and a drizzle a spoonful of olive oil on each serving.
Grate a ‘snow’ of feta cheese on each serving as a garnish.
Add a sprig of fresh mint to each serving.
Notes
This salad does not keep well and should be consumed as soon as possible after it is made.
Greek feta cheese has a salty taste because it bathes in a salty brine solution. You may not need additional salt in the salad.
The feta cheese can be either cubed or crumbled.
To keep the mint from discoloring tear the leaves into pieces rather than cutting them with a knife.
This is easily adapted by adding sliced Kalamata olives, thin slices of red onion and even chunks of crisp English Cucumber.
Also, replacing the lemon juice with a thick balsamic vinegar drizzle is fantastic!
