Watermelon Feta Salad or Appetizer

compliments of OV Harvest

Farmer’s Market Demo 7/22/26

Ingredients:

• 4 cups 1 inch chunks (cubed) seedless watermelon
• 1-2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, torn
• 1/2 cup Feta, crumbled (or 1 cup 1/2 inch cubed for appetizer)
• 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
• 3-4 tablespoons Lemon Grass Mint White Balsamic Vinegar
• cracked black pepper

Combine melon, mint and feta in a large bowl. Add pistachios. Drizzle with Lemon Grass Mint White Balsamic and top off with a few cracks of black pepper. Toss and Serve.

For Appetizer:
Cube Feta into 1/2 in chunks. Using only 1/2 of the watermelon, stack a watermelon cube on top of a feta cube and skew with a wood cocktail pick (4.5 inch). Make a platter of these, then drizzle the Lemon Grass Mint White Balsamic on top. Now, place a mint leaf on each one as the balsamic will help it to stick and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Omit the pepper as the appetizer is more aesthetically pleasing without.

Watermelon benefits: hydrating, L-citrulline and L-arginine (both amino acids that can help lower blood pressure), lycopene (antioxidant that combats oxidative stress/protects cells), vitamin A (promotes cell repair) and C, essential electrolytes like potassium.
