This post is probably a few months too late...sort of. I actually had planned on blogging about this earlier, but I have been on a very busy schedule that I totally forgot about this recipe. This is a very quick and tasty salad made with watermelon that is at its sweetest. I actually saw a recipe for this in a summer edition of Australian Gourmet Traveller and knew I had to have a go at it.
My parents have been eating a combination of watermelon and/or grapes with Greek cheeses for as long as I can remember. My mother would sometimes even have bread with that combination. Then a few years ago, I noticed the trend for combining watermelon with cheese in a lot of foodie magazines and later in many "trendy" eateries. It had taken off in a really big way! This is my "Greek inspired" version of watermelon salad using feta cheese, plump cherry tomatoes and parsley. It's very refreshing in hot weather and very delicious. Enjoy!
