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.

Tips:

  • Choose a ripe watermelon: Look for a watermelon that is heavy for its size and has a deep yellow spot on the bottom where it rested on the ground. Avoid watermelons with bruises or cuts.
  • Cut the watermelon into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat and will help the watermelon absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • Make the cinnamon pretzel crunch ahead of time: This will give the pretzels time to absorb the cinnamon sugar and become nice and crunchy.
  • Use a light and refreshing dressing: A simple vinaigrette or honey-lime dressing is a great way to dress this salad without overpowering the flavors of the watermelon.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Mint, basil, or cilantro are all great herbs to add to this salad. They will brighten up the flavors and add a refreshing touch.

Conclusion:

This watermelon salad with cinnamon pretzel crunch is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It's easy to make and is perfect for a potluck or barbecue.
