Hello Ladies, I want to share with you all an amazing recipe that is perfect for any time of the year. It's light , delicious and can be served as a snack or as a side dish for any meal. I figured I would try it out for myself and see how it turned out. I am here to tell you that it was divine. The combination of watermelon, feta cheese , lime, olives, parsley and mint creates a flavor explosion in your mouth.
I do suggest using fresh, ripe ingredients when making this salad as they will really complement the fresh flavors. If you are looking for a refreshing and delicious salad, this is the one for you!
Step-by-step
- Put onions in a bowl and add the juice from 2 limes and let them sit for awhile, until the onions turn pink.
- Cut up and the watermelon and remove the seeds. They should be rather large. Cut the feta into about the same size chunks. Put both in a large, shallow bowl. Add the chopped mint. Tear off sprigs of parsley and add to the mixture.
- Pour the onions and their juices over the watermelon. Add the oil and olives. Gently toss the salad with your hands careful not to mush up the watermelon. Add pepper and taste to see if it needs more lime.
- I also cut up a lime so that each person can add more to their serving if they want.
