  • 1 mini seedless watermelon, about 4 lb.
  • 1 3/4 lb. ripe tomatoes (On-the-Vine or Heirloom are best), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 Persian cucumbers
  • 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
  • 3 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

Remove the rind from the watermelon and cut into 1-inch slices, then cut into 1-inch squares. Quarter the cucumbers lengthwise. Cut the seeds off, then cut the cucumber quarters across into ½ inch pieces. Place watermelon, tomatoes and cucumber in a large serving bowl and gently toss. Whisk oil and vinegar together in a small bowl and drizzle over the salad. Stack the mint leaves and slice into thin strips. Sprinkle mint and feta over salad. Serve immediately. Serves 6.
