Watermelon & Feta Salad

Watermelon & Feta Salad

⏱ 10 minutes 🍽 4 serves

Summer captured in crystalline form—pink watermelon like a rose quartz prism, white feta like refracted light made solid. The collision of sweet and savoury splits across your palate in distinct wavelengths: cool watermelon juice, sharp salty cheese, bright citrus, peppery mint. Each element refracts the others, creating a spectrum far greater than their individual parts. This is the chemistry of contrast, where opposites don't just attract—they illuminate each other.

Ingredients

Method

  1. If the red onion is too sharp, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry. This mellows the bite.
  2. Arrange the watermelon cubes on a large serving platter, leaving space between the pieces for the other ingredients.
  3. Scatter the feta chunks over and around the watermelon.
  4. Distribute the red onion slices and torn mint leaves across the salad.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Drizzle this dressing over the entire salad.
  6. Finish with a generous sprinkle of Aleppo pepper and an extra pinch of flaky salt. Serve immediately while the watermelon is cold and crisp.
