Summer Watermelon Salad
Summer Watermelon Salad, so colorful, vibrant, and easy to make at home....
Ingredients
- 3 C. fresh watermelon
- 1/2 serrano pepper
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1-2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1-2 heads of Little Gem lettuce, or butter lettuce
- 1 C. feta
- 4 sprigs of fresh oregano
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Peel the watermelon and remove the seeds, cutting into rough chunks about 2 inches or so. Set the watermelon aside in the fridge to keep it cold.
Remove seeds and finely dice the serrano pepper, leave the seeds in if you like it spicy.
Place in a small bowl and cover with the olive oil and lemon juice. Set aside until serving.
Gently pull the lettuce apart, washing the leaves in cold water. Drain and gently pat dry.
Roughly tear the leaves into 2-inch to 3-inch pieces, or leave whole for a different presentation, and place onto a large platter. Scatter the watermelon pieces over the lettuce, then break 1-inch chunks of the feta over the watermelon. Pick the oregano leaves from the stems and sprinkle them over the salad.
Drizzle the chili/lemon juice/oil mixture over everything, season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
