Amazing Watermelon Greek Salad With Feta

The cool, crunchy watermelon is the perfect base for the pungent, greek flavours of feta and olives - it's a perfect balance of savoury and sweet. A similar salad was served to me at a cafe a few years back. I had always remembered it and finally decided to try to recreate it. Read more This is about as close to the original I could get.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced shopping list
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice shopping list
- 6 cups seedless watermelon, cubed shopping list
- 3/4 cup feta cheese, cubed (or crumbled) shopping list
- 1/2 cup black olives, pitted and halved (or use sliced ripe olives) shopping list
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- balsamic vinegar, to taste shopping list
- fresh parsley, chopped, to garnish shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
