Melon and Red Onion With Feta and Pine Nuts image

A first course or nice at a brunch buffet from the Junior League of Salt Lake City, Utah. Sounds interesting. Note: This recipe was titled Melon and Red Onion with Feta and Walnuts, but when I read the ingredients and intstructions it said "pine nuts" so I changed the title. Both sound good to me though!

  • Use a variety of melons: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of melons in your salad. This will add a variety of flavors and textures to the dish.
  • Slice the melons thinly: This will help the melons to absorb the flavors of the dressing and other ingredients.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way with this salad. Too much dressing can overwhelm the flavors of the melons.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. This will help to keep the melons crisp and refreshing.

This melon salad is a refreshing and flavorful summer dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give this melon salad a try!
