1/4 cup Fresh Mint Leaves, chiffonade
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
Sea Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Start by cutting your watermelon into uniform 1-inch cubes. Ensure you remove any stray seeds. Place the cubes into a large, chilled mixing bowl
- Chiffonade the Mint: Stack your fresh mint leaves, roll them tightly like a cigar, and slice them into thin ribbons
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small glass jar, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Shake or whisk until the emulsion is smooth
- Combine the Ingredients: Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon cubes. Gently toss the fruit to ensure every piece is lightly coated with the lime and oil
- Add the Feta and Herbs: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and the mint ribbons over the top. Use a large spoon to fold them in very gently
- Final Seasoning: Add a final crack of fresh black pepper. Serve your Watermelon Feta Salad with Mint immediately
Notes
Chill watermelon for at least four hours before slicing for best results.
Dress the salad only right before serving to prevent it from becoming watery.
