watermelon wedge salad topped with feta

Watermelon Wedge Salad with Feta and Mint

Naturally sweet, refreshing melon is excellent with the saltiness of feta, the crunch of the almonds, and the fragrance of fresh mint. It may seem like a strange pairing until you taste it and then (hopefully) it makes sense. The instructions in this recipe are for a small to medium watermelon. If you are using a large watermelon, increase the ingredients by 50 percent and cut the melon into 6 wedges instead of 4.
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • One 1 1/4-inch-thick slab from the center of a small to medium seedless watermelon
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (toasted if you have the time or inclination)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt (fleur de sel such as Maldon if you have it)

Instructions

  1. Cut the watermelon slab into quarters and set on a plate. Sprinkle the almonds, feta, and mint over the top. Drizzle the olive oil over the melon and finish with a pinch of salt.
  2. Best served soon after it's made.
