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.

Steps:

  • On a large platter, arrange the watermelon and douse with the vinegar. Season with salt.
  • Arrange the feta over the watermelon and drizzle over the olive oil. Season with pepper.
  • Drop the basil leaves over the watermelon and feta. Serve immediately.

2 pounds seedless watermelon (without rinds), thinly sliced into large, irregular pieces
2 tablespoons white or red balsamic vinegar
Salt
1 (6-ounce) block Greek feta, thinly sliced into large, irregular pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Leaves from 1 sprig basil, larger leaves torn

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.
