Watermelon Mint Salad

This is such a fun and refreshing summer side dish! My husband and lunch guest looked so skeptical when they saw me adding feta to a pile of watermelon...and then they tried it. Seconds and thirds were had by all, and then I caught my husband scooping out the last little bits as he cleared the dishes. Busted!! :)

Ingredients:
  • Juice from 1/2 a lime
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small watermelon or 1/2 a large one
  • 2 T. chopped mint or peppermint
  • 1 t. chopped flat leaf parsley (optional)
  • 4oz crumbled feta
Soak onion in lime juice for 10-15 min to cut the bite while prepping other ingredients. Gently combine all the ingredients and serve immediately.

Tip: Prepare up to 2 hours ahead of time by combining watermelon, herbs and onion and refrigerating. Add cheese right before serving.
