Watermelon & Feta Salad

While the weather starts getting a bit cooler (who knows if it will last!) I like soaking in the last tastes of summer before I bust out the apples and pumpkins. While I love watermelon, I find it hard for our family to eat a whole watermelon before it goes soggy. I recently decided to mix it up and make a salad out of it as a side dish to our salmon burgers.

Watermelon & Feta Salad
Quarter watermelon, cubed
10-12 mint leaves, sliced
Low-fat crumbled feta cheese
1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
1 TBSP honey
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Add watermelon and mint to a large bowl. Stir until mint is mixed throughout.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar and honey. Slowly add and whisk olive oil to emulsify. Add a dash of salt and pepper to taste.

Gently pour the mixture over the watermelon, adding a little bit at a time. Depending on your bowl, you may not use all of it. Sprinkle the crumbled feta on top and gently stir. Serve immediately to keep the mint and cheese fresh.
