Fruit: Watermelon, Feta and Black Olive Salad

Source of Recipe

e-cookbooks.net


List of Ingredients

1 small red onion
2 to 4 limes, depending on juiciness
3 1/2 pounds sweet, ripe watermelon
9 ounces feta cheese
Bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley
Bunch of fresh mint, chopped
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces (1/2 cup) black olives
Black pepper, freshly ground


Recipe

Peel and halve the red onion and cut it into very fine half-moons.

Put the pieces in a small bowl to steep with the lime juice. (If 2 limes are not enough, add more.)

Remove the peel and seeds from the watermelon and cut into 1 1/4 inch chunks. Cut the feta into similar-size pieces and put it with the melon in a large, wide, shallow bowl. Tear off leaves of parsley so they can be used like a salad leaf, rather than a garnish, and add to the bowl along with the chopped mint.

Tip the onions and juice over the salad, add the oil and olives and gently hand toss. Add a grinding of black pepper and taste to see whether the dressing needs more lime.
