AMAZING WATERMELON GREEK SALAD WITH FETA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, cover the onion slices with the lime juice. The acid in the lime juice will help to mellow the onion a bit.
• In a large salad bowl, combine the watermelon, feta, olives, and onions (without the lime juice, but save the juice for the vinegrette) Set aside.
• Wisk together the reserved lime juice, olive oil and as much balsamic vinegar to suit your taste and preferences. Keep in mind there is quite a bit of flavour in the salad from the feta and olives so just 1 or 2 tbsp usually does the trick.
• Pour vinegrette over melon mixture and toss. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
