You Will Need
6 cups cubed watermelon
1/2 cup fresh herbs, we like a combination of mint and parsley, plus more for garnish
4 ounces (113g) feta cheese, cubed, roughly 3/4 cup
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds, toasted
1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Toast the sunflower seeds. Add them to a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, swirling and shaking the seeds around the pan until they smell fragrant and toasty, about 2 minutes.
Add watermelon, chopped herbs, feta cheese, and toasted sunflower seeds to a large salad bowl.
Drizzle the salad with red wine vinegar, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Toss and serve with torn or small herb leaves on top, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Watermelon: One 8-pound seedless watermelon equals about 12 cups of watermelon cubes, so this recipe requires half an 8-pound watermelon.
