Salad with feta cheese and watermelon
It’s very warm and sunny in Stockholm this week, but unfortunately I’m back at work again. I would much rather be having picknicks in a park with nice books to read and yummy snacks. But you can’t get it all so I have to make the best of the evenings instead. For warm summer days or evenings this salad is a winner. I’m sure that many of you have already tried the combination of feta cheese and watermelon; the saltiness of the feta cheese goes perfect with the refreshing and sweet watermelon. Serve the salad with some spicy grilled chicken and fresh bread, and you have a perfect dinner for sunny evening that makes you forget all about going to work again the next day. You don’t really need a recipe for this, but for reference here’s what I put in yesterday’s salad:
-
Salad with feta cheese and watermelon
(serves 4)
around 1 kg watermelon, rinsed and sliced (and “peeled”)
200 gram feta cheese, sliced
a big handful of black olives
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp extra vergine olive oil
Fresh basil leaves
Combine the ingredients on a serving plate. Drizzle some olive oil over the salad. Decorate with fresh basil.

This combination is just popping up all over the place – and it’s such a great one! I most recently had this salad with spicy Thai fishcakes which was a perfect combination.

What a wonderfully refreshing combination. I’ve got melons coming in my CSA box tomorrow, and I think I know how I’m going to use them. Thank you for sharing this.
