Ingredients
•
1 large seedless watermelon
•
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
•
1/2 cup sliced green olives
•
1/2 cup sliced Kalamata olives
•
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh mint leaves
•
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste
•
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
1
Slice watermelon in half lengthwise, then each half lengthwise into quarters. Cut uniformly thick slices from the center of each quarter and place on plates or trays.
2
Remove any of the soft, white seeds, and use the tip of a spoon to make small, shallow divots in the surface to help hold the toppings.
3
Scatter some feta cheese, olives, and mint over the slices and season lightly with freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle each slice with a touch of rice vinegar and olive oil. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed.
