Watermelon Feta Salad
I love salads and especially ones with big chucks of salty cheese mixed with juicy sweet fruit and crunchy peanuts. This is a quick salad that packs a big sweet salty punch.
Ingredients
- 8 oz seedless watermelon (cut into chunks)
- 1/2 lb feta cheese (cut into large chunks)
- 1 jalapeno (de-seeded, take out ribs, and chopped)
- 1 handful mint (chopped)
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 tbs honey
- 3 scallions ( chopped)
- 1 handful roasted salted peanuts
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
Instructions
- Put the watermelon, feta, mint, jalapeno, scallions, and peanuts in a bowl.
- TIP: If making in advance do not put the peanuts in until you are ready to serve. This will maintain their crunchy texture.
- Now add to the bowl lemon juice/zest, honey, oil, salt and pepper.
- Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy!
Notes
Amazing made a day advance: The watermelon soaks up the spicy jalapeno and salt cheese flavor and tastes amazing.
