| I didn't know about this trick, but as someone who doesn't like the acidity of red onions I LOVE IT. |
Drain the onion slices and
set them aside. This helps to take some of the pungent flavor out of the raw
onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the watermelon, cucumber or
red onion.

| What a beautiful salad! |
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mint, lemon juice,
honey, olive oil, salt and pepper.
 |
| This is a nice subtle dressing; it complements the other flavors really well. |
Toss this dressing over the salad and chill for at least 30
minutes. This can be done several hours ahead of time.
To serve, place the salad into a bowl or serving platter and
crumble the feta on top. Serve immediately.

| Served with some Mediterranean Pizza and a nice rhubarb wine! |
My Rating: 4/5 "This is unique and really tasty. You wouldn't think these three main ingredients would go together, but they do - wonderfully. The feta is the perfect topping, too. A good summery treat!"
