Watermelon and Feta Cheese Salad

by Jeff Potter

Ingredients

2 cups watermelon, cubed or scooped

1/2 cup feta cheese, cut into small pieces

1/4 cup red onion, sliced super thin, soaked and drained

1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp. balsamic vinegar

Mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Preparation

In a bowl, add all ingredients, and toss to coat. Serve chilled.

**You can skip cubing the watermelon and feta and instead serve a slice of watermelon alongside a slice of feta, and alternate back and forth. You can also make appetizers by skewering a cube of watermelon and a cube of feta with a toothpick.
