Cookbook Challenge 5.0 – Watermelon and Feta Salad December 20, 2009

Watermelon & Feta Cheese Salad

 

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

    I remember nigella doing something similar in her forever summer series – yum. I’m a big fan of fruit in savoury dishes.

    @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.
