Time 5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds seedless watermelon (about 1 small or 1/4 large), rind removed, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 2 pounds/1kg chunks after rind is discarded)
1 tablespoon (15ml) juice from 1 lemon, plus 4 (2-inch) strips zest, removed with a sharp vegetable peeler
1/4 cup (10g) roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons (45ml) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Up to 4 ounces (1 quart) arugula leaves (optional; see note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces (110g) feta cheese (see note)

Steps:

  • Place watermelon chunks in a large bowl. Finely chop lemon zest. Add lemon juice and half of zest to bowl with watermelon. Add mint, oil, and arugula (if using) and toss until watermelon is evenly dressed. Season lightly to taste with salt and pepper. (The cheese will add saltiness, so go light on the salt at this stage.)
  • Transfer salad to a wide, shallow bowl or a large plate and spread out evenly. Crumble feta over the top. Sprinkle with remaining lemon zest. Drizzle with more olive oil and a few grinds of black pepper. Serve immediately.

WATERMELON, FETA AND MINT SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAGRETTE



Watermelon, Feta and Mint Salad With Balsamic Vinagrette image

Make and share this Watermelon, Feta and Mint Salad With Balsamic Vinagrette recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Raquel Grinnell

Categories     Cheese

Time 45m

Yield 8 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 seedless watermelon, small and ripe
4 ounces feta cheese (or more to taste)
1 cup of fresh mint
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (the best quality you can find really makes a difference!)
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut watermelon in half and remove watermelon from rind; the easiest way to do this is with a melon baller. Place melon balls into a large mixing bowl. Save the rind to use as the salad bowls for a pretty presentation, scraping out to the same depth all over and cutting a small slice from the bottoms of the outside rinds so that each half will sit evenly on a table.
  • Crumble feta cheese over the watermelon, chiffonade the mint (roll leaves into a cigar and slice thinly across the 'cigar' to get ribbons of mint) and sprinkle over watermelon. Grind pepper to taste over all.
  • To make the dressing, blend or shake the olive oil and vinegar in a jar until emulsified. Pour over watermelon and toss gently. Chill for 30 minutes, spoon carefully into reserved watermelon rind 'bowls' and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe watermelon. Look for one that is heavy for its size and has a deep red color.
  • If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried mint is more concentrated.
  • You can add other fruits to this salad, such as strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
  • For a more refreshing salad, chill the watermelon and mint before assembling.
  • Serve this salad immediately after making it, as the watermelon will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This watermelon mint salad is a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy watermelon. It is perfect for a summer party or potluck, and it is also a healthy and nutritious snack. With its combination of sweet watermelon, tangy lime juice, and refreshing mint, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
