WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD

GRILLED WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD



Grilled Watermelon and Feta Salad image

I love watermelon and feta salad, whether the watermelon is grilled or not. The sweet, juicy watermelon against the salty, creamy feta and pungent onions is a winning combination. This version introduces heat - if you serve it right after grilling the melon (it isn't a must) - and char. Throw the watermelon slices, with the rind, onto the grill after or before you've grilled your meat or fish or vegetables. Grill them on both sides until just charred, then cut away the rinds and dice up the melon for the salad.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings, appetizer

Time 10m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small red onion, sliced
3 large or 4 smaller 1-inch-thick slices watermelon
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or mild chili powder (to taste)

Steps:

  • Place sliced onion in a bowl and cover with water and 1 teaspoon of the vinegar. Soak 5 minutes, then drain and rinse. Drain on paper towels.
  • Prepare a medium-hot grill. Use 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to brush the watermelon slices lightly. Grill for about 3 minutes per side, or until charred. Remove from heat and dice. Transfer, with juice, to a large salad bowl.
  • Add onions and remaining ingredients and toss together. Let sit for a few minutes or for up to an hour before serving. Toss again just before serving.

CUBED WATERMELON, CUCUMBER AND FETA SALAD



Cubed Watermelon, Cucumber and Feta Salad image

This impressive checkerboard salad doesn't require any special ingredients-- just a little extra time cutting refreshing watermelon and cucumber into cubes. Feta adds a nice pop of saltiness while black pepper lends a little heat.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 English cucumber
1 small watermelon
One 5-ounce block feta
1 teaspoon olive oil
Black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • To cube the cucumber: Cut the ends off the cucumber. Then thinly slice off all four long sides of the cucumber so that it resembles a long rectangle. Cut into thirteen 1-inch cubes. (Reserve the remaining cucumber for another use.)
  • To cube the watermelon: Cut off the ends. Cut the watermelon into 1-inch round slices. Use a cucumber cube as a guide to cut the watermelon into thirteen 1-inch cubes. (Discard the rind and reserve the remaining watermelon for another use.)
  • To cube the feta: Cut into four 1-inch cubes using a cucumber cube as a guide.
  • To build the salad, make the bottom layer: Arrange 3 cubes across the top of a serving platter and then 5 cubes down, alternating cucumber and watermelon cubes (you should have something that resembles the number "7"). Fill in the "7" to make a 3-by-5-inch rectangle by alternating cucumber and watermelon cubes to create a checkerboard pattern. Occasionally swap out a cube of cucumber or watermelon with a cube of feta to integrate the 4 cubes into the pattern. There should be 15 cubes. To build the top layer, repeat the checkerboard pattern with the remaining 15 cucumber and watermelon cubes making sure that all the feta cubes are covered and every bottom cucumber cube is topped with a watermelon cube and vice versa.
  • Drizzle the cubed salad with the oil and then sprinkle with the pepper, basil and mint leaves.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Campari or plum tomatoes, diced, drained
1 1/2 cups diced seeded watermelon
1 large green bell pepper, seeded, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1/2 large English hothouse cucumber, seeded, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1/2 cup very thinly sliced radishes
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 green onions, chopped, divided
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh mint leaves, divided
1/2 cup plain Greek-style yogurt*

30-MINUTE GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD



30-Minute Grilled Chicken Thighs with Watermelon and Feta Salad image

A few time-saving techniques make a complete grilled chicken dinner doable in under a half hour: Grating the garlic is faster than chopping it with a knife, and adds more garlicky flavor to the dish. Massaging the marinade into the chicken works its flavors into the meat, cutting down on marinating time. And you can make the sweet-and-savory watermelon salad while the chicken marinates.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large garlic cloves, 4 grated, 1 whole
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
1 tablespoon dried oregano
4 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
1/2 medium watermelon (about 3 pounds)
1 garden cucumber, peeled (8 ounces)
One 4-ounce block feta
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 baguette, halved length-wise
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, torn into large pieces

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat.
  • Put the grated garlic into a large resealable bag. Add 1/4 cup oil, the lemon zest and juice, oregano and the chicken. Seal the bag tightly and use your hands to vigorously massage the marinade into the chicken, making sure that the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, remove the rind from the watermelon, cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes and put it in a large bowl. (You should have about 6 cups total.) Quarter the cucumber lengthwise and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Place on top of the watermelon in the mixing bowl. Cut the feta into 1/2-inch cubes, put on top of the cucumber and top with the olives. (Do not mix yet.) Set aside.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a plate. Lightly oil the grill grates. Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper and place the pieces skin-side down on the grill, leaving some space between the pieces. Cook until the skin is lightly charred and releases itself from the grill, about 2 minutes. Rotate the chicken about 90 degrees so that the skin won't burn and cook another 2 minutes. Flip and cook 5 minutes longer. Cover the grill and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and rest for at least 5 minutes.
  • While the chicken rests, brush the cut sides of the baguette halves with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the bread cut-side down on the grill until lightly charred and warmed through, about 2 minutes. Halve the remaining garlic clove and lightly rub the cut sides of the garlic onto the hot bread. Halve each piece of baguette.
  • Scatter most of the mint over the watermelon mixture. Add the remaining 1/4 cup oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper and gently stir to combine. Divide the watermelon salad, chicken and bread among 4 large dinner plates. Garnish with the remaining mint.

Provided by Papagayita

Categories     Melons

Time 25m

Yield 8-10 , 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small red onion
2 -4 limes, depending on juiciness
48 ounces watermelon, flesh- sweet ripe
9 ounces feta cheese
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
1 bunch mint, chopped
3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces pitted black olives
black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and halve the red onion and cut into very fine half-moons and put in a small bowl to steep with juice of two limes (more if they are dried up) to bring out the transparent pinkness in the onions and diminish their "onion-ness.".
  • Remove the rind and seeds (if necessary) from the watermelon, and cut into approximately 1 1/2 inch triangular chunks or use a melon baller. Cut the feta into similar sized pieces and put them both into a large, wide shallow bowl. Add chopped mint, along with sprigs of parsley if desired.
  • Pour onions, along with their juices, over the salad in a bowl, add olive oil and olives, then using your hands toss the salad gently so that the feta and melon don't lose their shape. Add a grinding of black pepper and taste to see whether the dressing needs more lime.

Tips:

  • Choose the right watermelon: Pick a ripe watermelon that is heavy for its size and has a deep, resonant sound when tapped. Avoid watermelons with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Cut the watermelon properly: Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise, then scoop out the flesh with a spoon or melon baller. Be sure to remove all of the seeds.
  • Use fresh feta cheese: Feta cheese is a brined cheese that has a slightly salty and tangy flavor. Fresh feta cheese is best for this salad, as it has a softer texture and a more pronounced flavor.
  • Add some crunch: Add some chopped nuts or seeds to the salad for a bit of crunch. Walnuts, pistachios, and sunflower seeds are all good options.
  • Dress the salad lightly: A simple vinaigrette dressing is all you need for this salad. Use a ratio of 3 parts olive oil to 1 part vinegar. You can also add a bit of honey or Dijon mustard to the dressing for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Watermelon feta salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or barbecue. It is also a healthy salad that is packed with vitamins and minerals. The combination of sweet watermelon, salty feta cheese, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
