This might just be the fruit salad of the summer and a perfect addition to your spread this Memorial Day Weekend. Itβs crunchy, sweet, sweet and refreshing – a TRUE mouth party and SO good.
The combination of watermelon, feta, mint is a classic and amazing on itβs own, but when you add berries, lime, and pistachios into the mix it takes this salad to to a whole new level.
You own the ratios here, so feel free to modify this however way you want based on your own taste buds.
Here is how I made it (this makes a large, party-sized salad)
1.First, start with a big base of watermelon chunks – I like to make these in smaller chunks, about 1/4 inch cubes. I went with about 4-5 cups of cubed watermelon.
2.Add 4oz of blueberries and 4oz of raspberries to the mix.
3.Add 1/3 cup fresh chopped mint.
4.Add the zest of 1 large lime and squeeze the juice over the watermelon.
5.Add 4-5 ounces of feta over the top.
6. Add two tablespoons of the highest quality olive oil you have.
7.Add a couple small pinches of sea salt (dont go overboard since feta is quite salty)
9.Add a tablespoon or so of chile lime seasoning or tajin.
10.Toss well, and right before serving, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of freshly toasted pistachios.
11.Give everything a really good mix, gently so as to not crush the watermelon, then give it a taste and modify as needed.
This is best served IMMEDIATELY (and even better outside in the sunshine π)
