Feta and Watermelon Salad Stack

Salty and sweet, this refreshing stacked watermelon Feta salad with toasted pine nuts and raspberry balsamic syrup is almost too pretty to eat. It would make a great summer time appetizer, a fun snack, or a side dish in place of regular side salad that will please people of all ages. You can slice watermelon and Feta into rectangles, squares or hearts of any size you prefer.

1/2 Seedless watermelon
250 g Feta
1 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper
2 tbsp Raspberry balsamic syrup
1 tbsp Pine nuts, toasted
Fresh parsley leaves, or arugula leaves
A handful of blueberries, optional
1 Lime, juiced

Cut the watermelon into four, and Feta into two 10x7x2cm rectangles (or rounds squares or even hearts). Drizzle watermelon with olive oil and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
Place a watermelon rectangle on a platter, then a slice of feta, followed by another piece of watermelon. Garnish with some parsley and blueberries if using.
Drizzle with the raspberry balsamic syrup. Sprinkle some chopped parsley and toasted pine nuts over. Squeeze some lime juice over the top and serve.

mjskit 30/7/21 04:10: Love this twist on the watermelon feta salad! It's my favorite summer salad, but I've never made it this way nor with a raspberry balsamic and pine nuts. Bobby promised to buy me a big watermelon next week, so I've got to try this. I actually do have the balsamic. :) Thanks Angie.
Grace 30/7/21 05:29: Angie; me parece una exquisita combinación. No creo conseguir jarabe balsámico de frambuesa aquí. Qué otra opción podrías sugerir? Seguro una receta que guardaré para mi próximo verano.
Muchas gracias!!
Hoy en Uruguay como fue 29, es tradicional comer ñoquis, (pasta).

Ben | Havocinthekitchen 1/8/21 14:29: I love watermelon salads (Can literally live on them for most of the summer), and this one bedides being delicious, looks so elegant! Love the addition of pine nuts.
Anca 3/8/21 09:33: That must be so good. I was thinking of a watermelon salad with feta (vegan for me, but it tastes just like the dairy one). I might do a stack like you did, because it looks really nice.
Raymund 4/8/21 22:39: Ohh that watermelon and feta combination is a sure winner. I made something similar before but insted of feta I used a grilled haloumi.
claire 5/8/21 22:38: I love this salad! I have similar recipe with pistachios but without the syrup and blueberries. The combo of feta cheese and watermelon is actually great!
tigerfish 10/8/21 22:32: Knife and fork , please! ;p
Choclette 11/8/21 19:37: What a fun idea. Watermelon and feta is so delicious, but this takes it up to the next level.
