    watermelon-feta-salad-ingredients

    Watermelon : Choose water melon that is well ripe and sweet. Use seedless watermelons or you can also remove the seeds . Cut watermelon into cubes and refrigerate , chilled watermelon works best in this recipe. Alternatively you can also scoop watermelon using melon baller and use watermelon balls instead of cubes.

    Feta Chesse : Try to find a good goat or sheep’s milk feta . Feta is soft cheese with salt and tang flavor. It is crumbly and has a slightly grainy texture. As white cheese is aged in brine , it gets that salty tang flavor.

    Fresh Mint Leaves : Adding fresh mint leaves makes this salad very refreshing.

    Dressing : Lime juice and extra virgin olive dressing is simple and helps to bring out flavors from watermelon.

    Tips and Variations to this recipe

    • Always chilled watermelon works best for this recipe , hence make sure to chill watermelon before making salad
    • Along with fresh mint leaves you can also add fresh basil leaves .
    • As Feta Cheese has salty and tang flavor , adjust salt as per your taste. Just adding pinch of salt is also sufficient at times depending on the saltiness of feta.
    • For a crunchy taste , tossed pecan or walnuts can also be added
    • You may also add a little balsamic vinegar to dressing to get a flavorful tang taste in your salad.
    • Always serve watermelon feta salad immediately . As it is not a good option for storing . Incase if you want store , then refrigerate watermelon and dressing separately . Mix mint leaves and top with feta only at the time of serving.
