Yet another watermelon salad that's perfect as a light meal on those hot summer days. I made this first about a year ago, when I spotted the recipe in Rachel Allen's lovely book "Rachel's Favourite Food for Friends". I love the fresh note that lime adds to the sweet watermelon.
Watermelon, feta and lime salad
(Arbuusi-fetasalat laimiga)
Serves 4
500 g watermelon (cleaned weight)
200 g barrel-aged feta cheese
1 lime
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
toasted pita bread, to serve
Peel the watermelon, remove the seeds. Cut the fruit into thin slices, about 4-5 cm (2 inches) wide. Place into the serving bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese on top, season with finely grated lime zest and freshly squeezed lime juice, sprinkle chopped mint on top.
Give it a gentle stir and serve. The salad tastes best within half an hour of preparing.

On a completely unrelated topic: saslokk tuli aus kuigi vaga kahtlesin alguses seda sibulate hulka kaedes.... :)
PS! Kui pead tegema oma absoluutse 5 lemmik restorani Eestis - mis need oleks? Tigu, Stenhus, O?
This would be very refreshing on a hot day, of which we have our share of in Mexico. We don't have feta, but perhaps the dry, salty cheese, queso anejo, would work just as well. I'm going to make this.

tere pille, see on tore :)
Very good salad for hot days. Fortunately, the temperature finally went down here, and we enjoy rain and heavy clouds for the first time since two weeks :)
I have also just made a feta, watermelon salad the other day - with no lime but lots of basic and olive oil. Brill with bbq-ed meats.
@ Cooking in Mexico - defo any salty cheese would work well here
Mmm...watermelon is at its best this time of the year (at least in my part of the world). Looks very refreshing!
Petita cuina - thank you!

Kathleen - queso anjeo sounds good (though I'm sure you'd find feta rather easily as well).
Laughing Wolf- thanks!
Magdalena - temperatures have dropped a bit here as well, but we had another watermelon salad for lunch yesterday, and it was still perfect!
Katrina - basil goes well with watermelon, too!
Jessie - it's very good this time of the year here, too! We get ours from caucasus and Moldova mostly.
