WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD



Watermelon and Feta Salad image

A take on the Mediterranean combination of watermelon and feta, this refreshing zinger of a salad couldn't be more perfect. Unassumingly simple, the sweet melon, salty cheese and fragrant basil reach their peak when doused with white balsamic vinegar and dribbled with fruity olive oil. Rather than building tall, this salad builds wide - so use a large platter for the most dramatic presentation. Vinegared watermelon does not keep its crisp, juicy texture well, so be sure to dress it (and eat it) the moment the last basil leaf falls.

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds seedless watermelon (without rinds), thinly sliced into large, irregular pieces
2 tablespoons white or red balsamic vinegar
Salt
1 (6-ounce) block Greek feta, thinly sliced into large, irregular pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Leaves from 1 sprig basil, larger leaves torn

Steps:

  • On a large platter, arrange the watermelon and douse with the vinegar. Season with salt.
  • Arrange the feta over the watermelon and drizzle over the olive oil. Season with pepper.
  • Drop the basil leaves over the watermelon and feta. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose a ripe and juicy watermelon: Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size and has a deep, resonant sound when you tap it. Avoid watermelons with bruises or blemishes.
  • Use fresh, high-quality feta cheese: Feta cheese should be white and crumbly, with a slightly salty and tangy flavor. Avoid feta cheese that is dry or crumbly.
  • Use ripe and flavorful berries: Berries should be plump and juicy, with a sweet and tart flavor. Avoid berries that are bruised or moldy.
  • Use a light and refreshing dressing: A simple dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and honey is a great way to enhance the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Watermelon salad is best served immediately after it is made. The watermelon will start to release its juices and become watery if it is stored in the refrigerator for too long.

Conclusion:

This watermelon feta flag salad is a refreshing and festive dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The combination of sweet watermelon, tangy feta cheese, and juicy berries is delicious and visually appealing. With its red, white, and blue colors, this salad is also a fun way to celebrate patriotic holidays.
