Name: Watermelon Salad with Feta and Mint
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 2 teaspoons kosher salt; 1 teaspoon Tabasco; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper; One 8-pound seedless watermelon, scooped into balls with a melon baller or cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks (10 cups), chilled; 1/2 pound feta cheese, crumbled (2 cups); 1 1/4 cups pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped (optional); 1 small sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice; 1 cup coarsely chopped mint leaves

This easy summer watermelon salad is perfect to make for eating under the warm sun. Watermelon and mint add plenty of refreshing flavor, while briny olives and feta offer the perfect counterpoint. Although Pepin cuts a small, seedless watermelon into rounds with a melon baller (adding the trimmings to the salad, too, so as not to waste them), you can also chop the watermelon into cubes.Related: More Watermelon Salad Recipes
