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.

This is amazing. It is light and tasty just as it is with no recipe changes. I wait until I serve before I add the feta only because I feel it looks better. It's a perfect salad for a summer party. It's also amazing the next day, just not as pretty.

I love trying new recipes, but I have to say this was really a big disappointment. Not only what it cost to make, but brought most of it back home from a cookout and threw it in the disposal. I love most of Paula's recipes but this isn't one of them

I served this last night immediately after making. It was good. However, today the leftovers were awesome!! Note to self: marinate longer before serving. Also rather than the oil and vinegar, I used a pre-made blush wine vinegarette and loved it.
