Provided by Papagayita

Categories     Melons

Time 25m

Yield 8-10 , 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small red onion
2 -4 limes, depending on juiciness
48 ounces watermelon, flesh- sweet ripe
9 ounces feta cheese
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
1 bunch mint, chopped
3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces pitted black olives
black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and halve the red onion and cut into very fine half-moons and put in a small bowl to steep with juice of two limes (more if they are dried up) to bring out the transparent pinkness in the onions and diminish their "onion-ness.".
  • Remove the rind and seeds (if necessary) from the watermelon, and cut into approximately 1 1/2 inch triangular chunks or use a melon baller. Cut the feta into similar sized pieces and put them both into a large, wide shallow bowl. Add chopped mint, along with sprigs of parsley if desired.
  • Pour onions, along with their juices, over the salad in a bowl, add olive oil and olives, then using your hands toss the salad gently so that the feta and melon don't lose their shape. Add a grinding of black pepper and taste to see whether the dressing needs more lime.

WATERMELON, FETA, ONION AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD



WATERMELON, FETA, ONION AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD image

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4- to 4 1/2-pound) piece watermelon, preferably seedless
3 large ripe tomatoes, preferably green or orange heirlooms, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium red onion
2-4 limes, depending on amount of juice
4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 bunch fresh flat leaf parsley
3-4 Tbsp. olive oil
100 gm pitted black olives (optional)
250g feta
black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and halve the red union and cut into very fine half-moons and put in a small bowl to steep with the lime juice for 4-6 hours, to bring out the transparent pinkness in the onion and diminish their rasp. Two limes' worth should do it unless they are not juicy and then you need to add more. Remove the rind and pips from the watermelon and cut into approximately 4cm triangular chunks. Cut the feta and tomatoes into similar sized pieces and put them both into a large, wide shallow bowl. Tear off sprigs of parsley so that is it is used like a salad leaf and add to the bowl along with the chopped mint. Tip the now glowingly puce onions, along with their pink juices over the salad in the bowl, add the oil and olives, then using your hands, toss the salad very gently so that the feta and melon don't lose their shape. Add a good grinding of black pepper and taste to see if the dressing needs more lime.

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.

GREEK-STYLE WATERMELON SALAD



Greek-Style Watermelon Salad image

It's not an immediately obvious combination - watermelon, cucumber, olives and feta - but one bite will leave you convinced that this savory-sweet summer salad is something truly special. The astringent punch of the olives and feta provides a sophisticated counterpoint to the watery mellowness of the melon and cucumber. With a hunk of bread, it's a lovely light lunch; with practically any grilled meat or fish, it's an ideal summer supper.
