Watermelon, Feta & Mint Salad

Let’s get out there!

There’s a whole lotta living to be done out in this gorgeous world.

When there’s lots of living to be done outdoors… that typically means that kitchen time is at a minimum. ย Sunshine, sandals and cocktails is the zone. ย Next to the stove… not ideal unless your stove is outdoors next to the sandal and cocktail people.

Incidentally… you might want to perfect your summer cough now. ย I’m not suggesting that you call in sick on a Friday and make your very own three day weekend. ย That would be totally irresponsible. ย But, well… those summer coughs can get nasty and I’m pretty sure the only cure is picnickingย and wave rushing.

… I’m just sayin’.

Let’s make it easy.

Fresh, chilled watermelon is sliced and diced. ย A big chunk of fresh feta cheese is crumbled. ย Fresh mint is chopped. ย And sesame seeds are sprinkled.

Have you ever combined watermelon and feta cheese? ย It’s totally the thing to do. ย Sweet and juicy watermelon is wonderfully complimented by salty feta cheese. ย Mint is an awesome herbal element, and sesame seeds are the addition of my artist friend, Fay. ย This salad makes my mouth thirsty and quenches my thirst all at the same time. ย Totally weird and true.

It’s fuel.

Dice as much watermelon as you’re in the mood to eat or share. ย Sprinkle the watermelon generously with sheep’s milk feta cheese. ย Coarsely chop fresh mint leaves and sprinkle on top. ย I also love a good sprinkling of black sesame seeds. ย For a super sweet watermelon treat, add a drizzle of honey.

Enjoy at the beach, in the sun, preferably wearing sunscreen. ย

  3. We make this salad minus sesame seeds with honey, lime juice, olive oil & shallot dressing but we also chop a fennel bulb in it. SO good!

  4. A great dish for summer. I had this for dinner, but substituted the sesame seeds for pine nuts & I spiced them up by roasting them with cayenne pepper. It hit the spot.
