SUBMITTED BY: California Milk Advisory Board 

"The sweetness of watermelon is balanced with the sharp saltiness of feta in this unexpected and deliciously minty summer salad."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves julienned (finely sliced)
  • 4 teaspoons champagne vinegar
  • 1/2 small chilled watermelon, preferably seedless
  • 3/4 cup red seedless grapes, halved
  • 3/4 cup green seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 cup crumbled California feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • Mint sprig, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

  1. In large bowl whisk together oil, mint leaves and vinegar; set aside.
  2. With a sharp knife cut around edge of watermelon to within 1/2 inch of rind. Then cut a deep cross through the flesh, leaving rind intact and reserving for later use. Scoop out each quadrant of watermelon and cut flesh into 3/4-inch cubes.
  3. Place in bowl with vinaigrette, watermelon flesh, grapes and feta; toss gently. Use watermelon shell for serving and if necessary, slice off a sliver of its bottom so it sits level. Spoon watermelon mixture into shell and sprinkle with nuts. Garnish with mint sprig. Serve immediately.
