WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD WITH DRIED MINT

The ingredients work so well together that this salad makes me eat watermelon with relish- something I have not done since zealously overdosing during my childhood summers.  So if you are not a fan of any one ingredient, still give it a try because together they work succulent magic on your palate.  Try it and let me know how you like it.  It is great all summer day long!

 WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD WITH DRIED MINT

2 cups cubed Watermelon

1 cup thickly sliced Cucumbers

¼ cup crumbled Feta Cheese

Juice of ½ a lemon

1 tablespoon olive oil

A generous pinch of Sea Salt

Freshly Cracked Pepper

1 teaspoons dried mint

Chopped Fresh Mint for garnish (optional)

The dried mint adds an earthy tone to the salad and the fresh one brightens it up. It is best to use both to add a greater depth of flavour, but if you ran out of the fresh stuff like I did (with all the minty drinks I have been making) simply use the dried ones in your pantry.
