Directions
Watermelon and feta salad is a dish of the end of August, the time when heatwaves come to an end and ripe watermelons are sold at markets.
It seems quite unusual, but indulge yourself in it and try! It’s refreshing, sour sweet, freshly mint with salty notes of feta. Exactly what you need in a hot day!
A pure delight!
Tips:
Place a watermelon in the fridge for a while before you start cooking to make your salad even more refreshing.
Red onion would look more eye-catching in this salad.
It’s not necessary to marinate sweet Crimean onion in lime juice. Cut and add it at once, and use lime juice as a dressing.
