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.

Feta Sizing for Watermelon Feta Salad

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!

A Bear and Bison Inn on Trip Advisor

Wow! A Great Find!

The Bear & Bison exceeded all our expectations! Excellent Staff, service, charm, good value and an overall wonderful experience. Great location within walking distance to town and hiking. We stayed for 3 nights in early September and were lucky enough to stay one more night before returning to Calgary!

Both rooms we stayed in were spacious, had fireplaces, hot tubs, balconies and were well appointed. Lonnie, the owner served up 3 course gourmet breakfasts each morning.

The inn is charming with antiques and lots of room to lounge. The grounds are beautiful too with sitting areas to eat or just relax.
