Creole Watermelon Feta Salad Recipes

WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD

I made up this salad one day when I bought a watermelon on special and didn't know what to do with it. It sounds unusual but it really works... It's great as a fresh starter or as an accompaniment to grilled fish or even a hot spicy curry to act as a cooler.

Steps:

In a large bowl, toss all the ingredients together. Let sit 30 to 60 minutes before serving. This will allow all the flavors to marry together. If you just can't wait and need to eat the salad immediately...I SOOOOO get it!!
What a melon!!!

Ingredients

1/2 medium watermelon, rind removed, cut into 1-inch dice (about 6 cups)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, stem and seeds removed, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Juice and zest of 3 limes
1 bunch mint, leaves picked and cut into chiffonade
10 to 12 basil leaves, cut into chiffonade

WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD

A take on the Mediterranean combination of watermelon and feta, this refreshing zinger of a salad couldn't be more perfect. Unassumingly simple, the sweet melon, salty cheese and fragrant basil reach their peak when doused with white balsamic vinegar and dribbled with fruity olive oil. Rather than building tall, this salad builds wide - so use a large platter for the most dramatic presentation. Vinegared watermelon does not keep its crisp, juicy texture well, so be sure to dress it (and eat it) the moment the last basil leaf falls.

GREEK-STYLE WATERMELON SALAD

It's not an immediately obvious combination - watermelon, cucumber, olives and feta - but one bite will leave you convinced that this savory-sweet summer salad is something truly special. The astringent punch of the olives and feta provides a sophisticated counterpoint to the watery mellowness of the melon and cucumber. With a hunk of bread, it's a lovely light lunch; with practically any grilled meat or fish, it's an ideal summer supper.
