Watermelon Leaf Lettuce Salad with Light Feta


A simple watermelon salad mixed with the loose leaf lettuce, grape tomatoes, and low-fat Salaskis feta in tangy balsamic vinaigrette makes a perfect light summer dinner fare. The combination rocks!
I am sending this to Side Dish Showdown: July at Cinnamon Spice&Everything Nice

Dressing
  • 250 g Watermelon, cubed
  • 12 Grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 head Loose leaf or curly lettuce, rinsed and drained
  • 50 g Salakis light feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2-3 Fresh cherries
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic bianco
  • 2-3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Clear honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Cut the watermelon flesh into bite sized pieces. Slice the grape tomatoes into halves. Rinse the leaf or curly lettuce with cold water, and pat them dry with a towel.
  2. Divide the leaf lettuce in 2-3 serving plates or bowls, top with watermelon, grape tomato halves and crumbled feta.
  3. Finally place all the dressing ingredients together in a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake well. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Garnish with a cherry if desired and serve.
