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.
