Feta Watermelon Salad Recipe

by Mindy Merrell

Watermelon and lemonade, old summer favorites in their simplest form, offer a new world of heat-quenching flavor if you experiment a bit.
For a true study of contrasts, serve a Feta Watermelon Salad, for example. Imagine salty, creamy feta cheese crumbled over sweet red watermelon slices accented with peppery green watercress-all drizzled with a fruity olive oil and a sprinkling of black pepper. The hardest part of assembling the salad is getting the seeds out of the watermelon, so if you can find a seedless variety, grab it. For even greater impact, use both red and yellow-meated varieties.


Ingredients
1 4-pound piece of water-melon (about 1/4 of a small to mediumwatermelon)
6 ounces feta cheese,crumbled
1 small bunch watercress
Olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Cut watermelon from rind. Cut into wedges about 1/2 inch thick by 2 inches, removing seeds as necessary. Arrange watercress on a platter. Top with watermelon. Crumble feta cheese over the watermelon. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper. Serves 8.
