Description

Watermelon, feta, and herbs might sound like an unusual combination, but they really work well together as a refreshing starter or side dish salad.

Ingredients

1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 limes, juiced
1/2 watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 (4 ounce) package Greek feta cheese, cubed
20 pitted black olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

1 Mix red onion and lime juice together in a bowl. Refrigerate until onion turns bright pink, about 30 minutes.
2 Add watermelon, feta cheese, olives, cilantro, parsley, and olive oil to the onion mixture; mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Add brown sugar if lime juice tastes too sharp.
