  • 8 Cups watermelon cut into cubes
  • 1 Cup feta
  • 1/2 mint chopped
  • 1 Cup black olives chopped
  • 1/3 Cup olive oil
  • 1 bunch of cilantro 
  • 4 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar 
  • 1 small red onion
  • 4 lime  
  • salt to taste

This is one of my favourite salads on a hot summer day. It is both savoury and refreshing all at the same time. Half red onions cut into half moons and put in a small bowl to steep with the juice from the 4 limes. This will bring out the transparent pinkness in the onions and also takes the bite out of the onions, makes them quite sweet.  Cut the watermelon into 1 1/2 inch triangular chucks. Add parsley and chopped mint. Put the onions with the pink juice and the rest of the ingredients and WALA!!!!! your done :)
