My husband's aunt gave me this recipe back in the '80s, and it's been a staple at our house ever since. I like to make it a day ahead because some time in the fridge makes it even better. Be sure to save yourself some leftovers, too. -Madeline Etzkorn, Burien, Washington

WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD



Watermelon and Feta Salad image

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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head romaine lettuce, finely chopped (about 8 cups)
4 medium plum tomatoes, seeded, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup pitted halved Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives

Steps:

  • Combine first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Drizzle oil and vinegar over. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Mix in feta cheese and olives and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful watermelon for the best results.
  • Use a variety of colorful vegetables to make the salad more visually appealing.
  • Feta cheese adds a salty and tangy flavor to the salad. You can also use other types of cheese, such as crumbled goat cheese or mozzarella.
  • If you don't have any fresh mint, you can use dried mint instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried mint is more concentrated.
  • Serve the salad immediately after making it, as the watermelon will start to release its juices and the salad will become watery.

Conclusion:

Chopped Veggie Salad with Watermelon and Feta Cheese is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. The combination of sweet watermelon, crunchy vegetables, and salty feta cheese is sure to please everyone. Plus, it's a healthy and easy-to-make salad that can be customized to your liking.
