Watermelon and Feta Salad



 As a native Texan, it is only natural that I love big things, especially big flavor and big food!  Watermelon, being one of the biggest fruits I have ever encountered, is of course one of my favorite big things.  Now here is the weird thing, I do not really love watermelon by itself, I know this is crazy.  But I do love it paired with Feta Cheese and Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.  I think I could love most any food that involved Feta Cheese and/or Balsamic vinaigrette dressing.  I got inspired to make this yummy salad after I received a coupon for a free organic watermelon at one of our local grocery stores.  You know the saying “if it’s free, it’s for me”, well I do love some free food! Once I got to the store, I perused the big crates of watermelon’s they had and I chose one that I thought was just perfect...and of course possibly the biggest one they had.  I got it home and got to cooking.  I love this recipe so much because on a hot day it is so nice to eat something chilled and fresh!  I hope you enjoy this big recipe too!

Watermelon and Feta Salad

What you will need:

Watermelon, sliced into small pieces
1 pkg Feta Cheese, crumbled (I prefer the reduced fat kind)
Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

Okay, so this quite possibly could be THE easiest recipe I have so don’t blink or you might miss it!

In a large mixing bowl, add your Watermelon pieces, Feta Cheese crumbles, and cover it with about 1/3 to ½ cup of Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.  Mix it all together then cover it with saran wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for an hour or more. 

When you are ready to serve it just mix it up again and serve!  Easy peasy!  Enjoy!
