Packed with water and electrolytes, watermelon is the perfect treat in warm weather. This is a great side dish for barbecue or potlucks (midnight snacks, too!).
7 cups cubed watermelon
1 Vidalia or red onion quartered and thinly sliced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. chopped fresh mint (or basil)
4-8 oz. crumbled feta cheese
Make dressing by mixing vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl, then slowly whisking in the olive oil. In a large bowl, mix melon, onion, mint (or basil) and feta. Pour dressing over and gently toss until combined. If you’re making it in advance, put the feta in a zip top bag, then mix in just before serving.
