Watermelon with Sheep's Milk Feta and Fresh Mint

Very simple yet delicious.
Make sure your watermelon is perfectly ripe.
Chris loves this salad and told me the last time I made it that he would be sorry to see watermelon season go.

Salad:

  • 4–6 cups Freshly cut Watermelon chunks
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh Mint
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Sheep's Milk Feta

Directions:
Mix all in a large bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Note:
Use mint and feta to taste. The above amounts are just a guide.
Sheep's milk feta is milder and creamier than cow's milk feta which has a slightly sharp flavor.

Mixed Greens with Nectarine, Strawberries, Apples and Tomatoes

I made up this salad when I had fresh fruit to use up. It turned out so delicious I decided I had to share it.
Make sure your tomatoes and fruit are garden or Farmer's Market fresh. Store bought just won't do in this salad.

Salad:

  • 5 oz Mixed Organic baby salad greens (1 reg. package)
  • 1 nectarine, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup (or more) fresh Strawberries, cored and cut into quarters
  • 1 Granny Smith Apple, cored and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 farmer's market tomato, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup crumbled sheep's milk feta
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts, toasted and broken into small pieces, opt.


Dressing:

  • 1 Tbs Strawberry Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbs White wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbs Grey Poupon or to taste
  • 3 Tbs Meyer Lemon olive oil


Directions:
Place salad greens in large salad bowl. Arrange other ingredients on top, feta last. When ready to serve drizzle with dressing and toss gently.
