Ingredients

  • 1 (5-pound) watermelon
  • 1 Vidalia or other sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 6 whole mint sprigs

Directions

Cut the flesh from the melon and cut into bite size pieces, removing and discarding the seeds, and set aside. Peel and slice the onion into rings.

In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, pepper, and whisk until salt is dissolved. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, a few drops at a time. Add in the chopped mint, taste, and adjust seasonings.

In a large bowl, combine the melon, onion, and feta. Pour the dressing over the melon mixture and toss gently until everything is coated and evenly mixed. Garnish with mint sprigs.

To serve, divide salad among individual plates and garnish with mint leaves.

    One word - yummy! This recipe has everything going for it. My friends were impressed and couldn't get enough! It's sweet, salty, crunchy, smooth, refreshing, and interesting! I'm a big fan. A real crowd-pleaser.

    This was a big hit at my party. Several people questioned the vidalia onions and mint BEFORE they tried it but loved it once it was in their mouths. Even our "no way, no mint, ever" guest was a convert.

    What a crowd pleaser. Husband thought it was too much mint - but no one else did. Everyone asking for it again. This is a keeper.
