Israeli Watermelon & Feta Salad
December 2nd, 2010 PrintThanks to Gil Marks, author of Encyclopedia of Jewish Food for sharing this recipe!
Watermelon has long been ubiquitous at Israeli beaches and picnics. It is a popular flavor for popsicles and ices. The more recent pairing of cubes of salty Bulgarian feta cheese with sweet watermelon, a duo now popular as beach fare as well as at upscale cafes, is possibly the dish most emblematic of modern Israeli gastronomy.
Ingredients:
4 cups 1-inch watermelon cubes
1/4 to 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Serve immediately.
