Description
I made up this salad one day when I bought a watermelon on special and didn’t know what to do with it. It sounds unusual but it really works… It’s great as a fresh starter or as an accompaniment to grilled fish or even a hot spicy curry to act as a cooler.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 limes, juiced
- ½ watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 (4 ounce) package Greek feta cheese, cubed
- 20 pitted black olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (Optional)
Instructions
- Mix red onion and lime juice together in a bowl. Refrigerate until onion turns bright pink
- about 30 minutes.
- Add watermelon
- feta cheese
- olives
- cilantro
- parsley
- and olive oil to the onion mixture; mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Add brown sugar if lime juice tastes too sharp.
