    Simple but delicious. Easy to adjust ingredient ratios to your taste. I soaked the red onion in ice water for a few minutes to tame its bite.

    For those who proposed adding preserved lemons, here’s a link to Ottolenghi’s other watermelon and feta recipe but this time with Kalamata olives and preserved lemons added. https://ottolenghi.co.uk/recipes/watermelon-and-feta-salad-with-marinated-olives-and-preserved-lemon#

    Fabulous! A twist on my favourite salad of watermelon and raw halloumi. I used a fairly salty feta for this recipe. There is a very similar recipe in Nopi as well. It's a great salad for the beach or eating under the verandah or the grapevine arbour on a hot day. It’s a salad to go with lots of conversation, a glass of beer and jugs of home made lemonade. The saltiness of the feta and the sweet juiciness of the watermelon that makes this salad remarkable. It is best served really chilled.

    Fresh and simple. More than sum of its parts. Great summer starter/salad

    Really refreshing and light, so easy to make and tasty even with a ropey watermelon. Perfect starter for a summer lunch in the garden with friends.

    This salad excited every one of my taste buds. It is as easy as can be. Chop up some watermelon. Crumble some feta. Cut a few thin slices of red onion. Toss in some basil leaves. Drizzle olive oil and voila! It's sweet, salty, sharp, herby, refreshing, and oh so pretty! I know I was pushing summer, but I had a mini seedless watermelon that turned out to be crisp and sweet. I ground some pepper over it, as it seemed to call out for that (and I think I see pepper in he photo also). Fairly complex flavors for such an easy-peasy dish.
