Watermelon and Feta Salad!
Come summer and we all start craving for water based fruits. In this heat, it's difficult to make elaborate meals in kitchen. Salad is a great instant food which can be eaten as a light meal or snack. This salad is a Greek salad which is made using chunks of watermelon, fresh mint, soured onions and crumbled feta. Salty and creamy feta perfectly compliments sweet watermelon. Don't be surprised about adding onions to this salad, it's crunchy and sour taste makes this salad even more drool worthy.
Feta cheese is one of my favourite food ingredients and tastes excellent with watermelon. You might as well think that I like this salad because of feta! Regardless, this salad does taste good. Feta cheese is available easily in most of the gourmet stores. As simple as this salad is, it is both sweet and savoury and is sure to make your tongue happy!!! Little cheese everyday is not bad for your health, on the contrary it is good :)

- juice of 1 lemon

INSIGHT ON THIS RECIPE
