Cucumber, Melon and Watermelon Salad
Watermelon and feta has been in vogue for some time (and forever in Greece). I decided to throw in some of my endless supply of cucumbers and mix it up with the melons. I cut the melon and cucumber into medium-size dice (1/2 to 3/4 inch), but you can also make this more like a salsa and cut the produce into fine dice.
INGREDIENTS
4 cups mixed diced watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe
2 cups diced cucumber, seeded if there are seeds
Salt, to taste
1 teaspoon lemon or lime zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
¼ to ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper or mild chili powder (to taste), or 1 serrano chile, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Toss together just before serving, that’s it!
