Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 small watermelon
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese (I use feta cheese from sheep's milk)
  • 1/8 cup 2 Tbsp mint leaves thinly slivered
  • 1/8 cup 2 Tbsp basil leaves thinly slivered
  • 1/8 cup 2 Tbsp pepitas (toasted pumpkin seeds)
  • 1/4 cup verjus
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instruction

  • Cut away the green and white rind layers from the watermelon, and slice into 1-inch cubes. Lay on a serving dish.
  • Cut the cheese into 1/2-inch pieces and spread over the watermelon pieces.
  • Sprinkle the mint and basil on top. When I use basil in my garden, I toss on some basil flowers too. Add the pepitas.
  • Combine the verjus and oil, and drizzle over the watermelon salad. Finish with a light pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
  • Let sit for 30 minutes before serving.
