What Can I Bring?
This easy summer salad is so refreshing, it's practically bracing.
Perfect for: Cookouts, summertime parties, luncheons.
Make and take: Assemble, wrap in plastic, carry.
Hands on time: 10 minutes Total time: 10 minutes Serves: 8
Ingredients:
-
1/2 medium watermelon
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
4 ounces mild feta cheese, crumbled
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Using a melon baller, scoop the flesh of the watermelon from the shell. (Or scoop flesh with large spoon and cut it into bite-size pieces.) In a large bowl, toss the watermelon, mint and feta with the lime juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Return mixture to the watermelon shell and serve. -- Adapted from "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" by Deborah Madison (Broadway Books, $40)
Notes:
Use the scooped-out watermelon shell as a serving bowl. Not only does it look great, but it's also disposable --- you don't have to bring home the bowl.
