Watermelon Salad with Pickled Onions and Feta

Made this for a potluck, doubled. The onions, feta and balsamic dressing add a tangy element to the watermelon. Super delicious, I will definitely make this again. There is a similar recipe in the June 2015 issue but the first ingredient of "1 cup sugar" and a couple of obscure ingredients made me choose this older one instead. But check out the other one too, if you'd rather pickle the cukes, and you know where to get powdered sumac!

I thought this was a lovely refreshing summer salad. I left out the mint (not a fan) and used goat feta instead of cow feta. The salty creaminess of the cheese really pulls the flavours together.

Extremely refreshing as a site for a summer dinner. The watermelon - mint - feta combo really, really works. So yummy. I made this into a meal with the Quinoa and Pistachio Salad with Moroccan Pesto (Cooking Light July 2009) and a grilled chicken breast. The combination was stellar.
