We will be attending a family reunion and have been asked to bring a side dish or two. Since we are not set up to cook big dishes in the van my first though was to stop by a deli on the way until I remember this refreshing dish. We almost always have lime juice on hand but the other ingredients wouldn’t fit in our full fridge. When we purchased our SnoMaster fridge we decided to keep our medium size lifetime cooler in the van, mainly because I use it to get on and off the bed. This watermelon salad is refreshing, easy, fast and makes 15 servings!
INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 cup sliced red onion
12 cups cubed watermelon (seeds removed)
3 cups cubed english cucumber
1 8 oz package feta cheese, crumbled (can sub Manouri)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cliantro (Can sub mint or basil)
pepper & salt
DIRECTIONS:
1.) Place sliced red onions in a small bowl, pour lime juice over onions and allow to marinate while preparing other ingredients.
2.) Cut up watermelon, english cucumber and cilantro and place in large bowl. Add feta cheese. Season with black pepper.
3.) Just before serving toss salad with the marinated onions and season with salt.
