Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 slice country-style stale bread (thick slice)
1 medium red onion, sliced into thin rings
3 cups cold watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup greek feta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 ounces)
1 teaspoon sherry wine vinegar (or raspberry vinegar)
fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Dampen the bread under running water and then hold it over the sink for the water to drip off.
  • Break it into chunks, about 1 inch each. Place the chunks on the bottom of a serving bowl and sprinkle half the onion slices over them.
  • Place the watermelon and any of its juices together with the feta cubes on top.
  • Drizzle in the vinegar and toss gently, careful not to mash the watermelon.
  • Season with pepper and garnish with the remaining onion slices and mint.
  • Serve.
