Watermelon Feta Salad
Chef Lonny’s Black Box Challenge # 2
A light, fresh simple salad to bring us into summer. This watermelon feta salad finds the perfect balance between savoury and sweet.
Ingredients
- Watermelon
- Feta
- Mint
- Sugar
- Salt and pepper
- A splash of fruit juice
Instructions
Start by finely chopping mint, place in bowl, add in a little sugar.
Cube watermelon, into sugar cube sized pieces. Add to bowl.
Add a pinch of finely ground black pepper.
- (not from a pepper mill, it needs to be fine)
Add a splash of some kind of juice,
- (orange, apple, cranberry etc).
Gently mix, don’t over mix, add in crumbled feta.
Less than you think. It’s important not to add to much. Start with a little, maybe add a little more. The idea is, it’s a sweet fruit dish with a bit of savoury. You can over power the watermelon very easily with any of the ingredients and that not the point, it’s a watermelon and feta salad.
Easy on the mint, the feta and the black pepper, they all have a role, but it’s a seasoning role, not a flavouring role. Great salad any meal of the day, It would be lovely with baby shrimp mixed in.
Up for a real challenge? Try a rose version!
Bon appetite!
