watermelon salad


since it feels like summer is on its way, tonight i made watermelon salad. i had this for the first time with pete at sweetwater. we recreated once and its probably one of my all time favorite things to eat now. here's how;

into a large bowl mix together these ingredients
cube fresh watermelon (seedless is best, i used half a watermelon)
slice or dice half a red onion
chop up about half a cup of fresh mint leaves
add about half a cup of kalamata olives
add half a cup of feta cheese
splash in some red wine vinegar
add about half a quarter cup of olive oil
squeeze in the juice of one lemon
s&p to taste (careful the feta's salty)

so good!
i served it with homemade pizza (goat cheese, caramelized onions, white mushrooms, arugula, and basil with an olive oil/garlic base)!

So basically an eighth of a cup of olive oil?
