MELON, CUCUMBER, FETA, AND MINT SALAD
Peak season melons and cool cucumber pair with salty, creamy feta cheese and mint to make one irresistible salad.
Ingredients
- ½ half each of two (or more) melons cantaloupe, honeydew, canary melon – even watermelon
- 1 cucumber peeled
- 1 -2 ounces feta cheese crumbled or grated
- Coarse salt
- Good olive oil
- Fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Using a mandolin slicer or sharp knife, slice melons and cucumber in ¼ inch slices.
- Arrange on a platter as artistically as you have patience for.
- Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, sprinkle with grated feta, sprinkle lightly with salt and garnish with mint leaves. That’s it!
Notes
Alternatively – you could just chop the melons and toss them with the rest of the ingredients. It’ll taste the same but won’t get as many likes on Instagram.
Diva Tip – save money on feta cheese by buying the block instead of crumbles. They’re often the same price but the block contains twice the amount of cheese. It grates and crumbles so easily and it nice to have the option to slice it or dice it.
