Salad: Tori's Watermelon Feta Salad

A Note from Tori

I love hosting parties in my backyard in the summer. We have country music playing, the baby pools full and sprinklers going. This is the perfect salad for a hot summer day. It is so refreshing and elevates any BBQ. I love picking out a ripe watermelon at the Logan Square famer's market and getting feta from the cheese stand there too. If you haven't tried watermelon in a savory dish, now is the time with this salad. It is crisp, sweet and tangy with a little spice. The recipe is from Love and Lemons and it is always a hit.

Ingredients

5 cups cubed watermelon 1 cup diced English cucumber ¼ cup thinly sliced red onions ¹ / ₃ cup crumbled feta cheese 1 avocado , cubed ¹ / ₃ cup torn mint or basil leaves jalapeño thinly sliced, optional Sea salt

Dressing

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons lime juice

garlic clove , minced ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Recipe

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic and salt.

Arrange the watermelon, cucumber, and red onions on a large plate or platter. Drizzle with half the dressing. Top with the feta, avocado, mint, and jalepeno pepper, if using, and drizzle with remaining dressing. Season to taste and serve.
