I was quite worry about this week cookbook challenge theme “Greek” as I don’t own any greek cuisine cookbook. When searching through my bookshelf I come across ”Fabulous Salad” book and found “Greek Garden Salad” which consist of tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, red onion and olives. then I remember having seen some cooking show where the chef was replacing olives with watermelon. so I prepare this salad for this week cookbook challenge get together at @Rilsta house ( I had so much fun – get together rock! thanks Rilsta for organising).
Ingredients
- 1/2 red onion slice thinly
- 1-2 tomatoes
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 bowl watermelon cubed
- 1/2 block feta cheese
Salad Dressing
- extra virgin olive oil
- basil paste
- salt and pepper
Preparations
- sliced red onion thinly, soak in cold water for 1-2 minutes, slice cucumber on an angle sprinkle with salt
- quatered tomatoes, cubed watermelon and feta cheese
- mix salad dressing and drizzle on top of salad
Enjoy

Thanks for coming! The watermelon salad was interesting as I always associate watermelon with dessert!

I remember nigella doing something similar in her forever summer series – yum. I’m a big fan of fruit in savoury dishes.
It was great to meet you! Thanks for the salad and for bringing so many cookbooks for us to flick through.
Up my alley! As I said on my post that I am all about fruits in salad this summer. YUM!
@Leigh – yeah must be her, i think it was on foxtel recently.
@Agnes – we should do eating out next time he he
@Penny – hiya. peach and feta sound yumm too, i will try that next – fruit salad is quite refreshing isnt it – i feel that you dont have to put much salad dressing when you add fruit.
Wow, love this salad- made it the other night- perfect for a relaxed bbq with the family- was a real hit with everyone!
Hi Maree, i’m glad you like it. i also find that its good way to get kids to eat fruit n salad in one.
