Watermelon Mint Feta Salad

IMG_8046-1.jpg

Watermelon; my favorite fruit…ever. My mother can attest to this! She claims I craved watermelon so much while in the womb that she would eat an entire one with a spoon in one sitting. (I can match that energy, anytime & any place).

This salad is perfect for a date, for a picnic, for a cute little Brooklyn roof top dinner moment. Do you want to impress a date? Make them this.

It’s simple, it’s creamy (thanks to the feta), and like Samin Nosrat suggests-a perfect dish is composed with Salt, Fat, Acid, & Heat- and that is exactly what this dish has. ENJOY!
