WATERMELON, FETA AND MINT SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAGRETTE

Steps:

• Cut watermelon in half and remove watermelon from rind; the easiest way to do this is with a melon baller. Place melon balls into a large mixing bowl. Save the rind to use as the salad bowls for a pretty presentation, scraping out to the same depth all over and cutting a small slice from the bottoms of the outside rinds so that each half will sit evenly on a table.
• Crumble feta cheese over the watermelon, chiffonade the mint (roll leaves into a cigar and slice thinly across the 'cigar' to get ribbons of mint) and sprinkle over watermelon. Grind pepper to taste over all.
• To make the dressing, blend or shake the olive oil and vinegar in a jar until emulsified. Pour over watermelon and toss gently. Chill for 30 minutes, spoon carefully into reserved watermelon rind 'bowls' and serve.

WATERMELON MINT FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Now, this salad is incredibly delicious and very unusual. There are three ways we can liberate this watermelon from the rind. There's what's know as the spooners. They don't mess around with any fancy tools; they just scoop it out. There are the cubers - you might be a cuber. They cut off the rind and cut it into squares. It's kind of cool. So, scoop out your watermelon and put it in a bowl, and you're going to add your dressing, which is so simple, it's unbelievably easy. Add your oil, your vinegar, and a couple grinds of black pepper. Yes pepper - this is a savory dish. What about salt? No salt, the feta is salty enough. Mix this all together and chill for 15 minutes, which will give you time to prep your mint and final plate. Were going to chiffanade the mint, which means cut it into fine ribbons. Now we line our plate with light, crispy butter lettuce. Using a slotted spoon arrange the watermelon nicely on the plate. Then crumble over that delicious creamy sheep's milk feta cheese. The salty contrast with the sweet melon is unbelievable. To finish were going with that aromatic fresh mint, which brings it all together. And a little more black pepper at the end so there's a little on the feta.
