Sunday with Marlena Spieler
The sweet crispness of watermelon combined with salty feta cheese, a dash of cumin, lemon juice, salt and pepper takes this fruit to a whole new level.I was very skeptical about this salad and was in for a pleasant surprise.
This salad really needs no recipe.
- Cut half a watermelon into wedges.
- In a small bowl, whisk a teaspoon of vinegar, ½ tsp of extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, ½ a tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp of cumin powder . Drizzle over watermelon
- Crumble feta cheese over and if you have some roasted pumpkin seeds, sprinkle a few and serve chilled.
Try this salad and you will definitely want more. Make sure you use good quality olive oil for this salad. I am coming almost to the end of cooking my way through Marlena ‘s cookbook, next Sunday will be the last of the two recipes.
I love feta and watermelon..next time I will add the cumin.
the combination does sound odd, but I’ve taste other sweet, spicey foods that work so well together that this does not surprise me. I’ll give it a whirl.
It would never have occurred to me to make a salad with watermelon. The match stick cut suits the salad perfectly too,
I love watermelon with feta! The saltiness of the cheese cuts the sweetness of the melon perfectly.
I’m totally adding this to my list of summer recipes to try. Is it watermelon season yet?
Hmm, am sceptical too! But watermelon – I will eat anytime, so will try sometime.
I’m just catching up on some posts of yours and wanted to write to you on Facebook. I had tears in my eyes when I read your post about cooking with your parents around.
I can imagine how proud you felt, Shankari. Keep up the good work!
