    What ingredients do you need for this mint watermelon salad with feta?

    For this summery mint watermelon salad with feta, you need the following ingredients:

    • A ripe, juicy watermelon
    • Cubed or crumbled feta (I prefer cubed)
    • Fresh mint
    • 2 limes
    • Pomora Extra Virgin Olive Oil -this is the best olive oil! I absolutely can't live without it! Read about why I love it so much here. If you want to order a set for yourself, you can order it here.

    How to pick out a watermelon from the grocery store?

    This salad is so much better with a big, juicy, ripe watermelon! Here are some tips on how to pick out a watermelon from the grocery store:

    • Look for a large yellow spot on the watermelon's belly. A ripe watermelon develops a splotch yellow spot on the bottom of the rind where it was resting on the ground as it grew. The yellow color indicates it is ripe.
    • Look for an even shape. If it grew all lop sided then it didn't receive proper sun or rain at some point, which stunted the growing process.
    • Feel the weight of your watermelon. It should be heavier than it looks. More water means more yummy juice!
    • Knock on that rind and listen!! A ripe watermelon delivers a deep, echoey, hollow sound. An under-ripe or over-ripe melon will have a dull sound.
    • Shiny is not better! Shiny watermelons represents are still developing. The dull colored watermelons are ripe.

    How do you cut the watermelon into cubes?

      I just made a huge bowl of orzo Greek Salad - I pretty much use EVOO daily. - I'd make a fresh batch of tomato sauce sauce for all our pasta dishes

      It sounds like a nice way to experience the essence of Italy, the heady aroma of the olive oil and the taste, like it is warmed from the sun and summer breezes.
