Making the most of the season’s plentiful produce, this recipe uses crisp & juicy watermelon paired with aged balsamic, olive oil and sharp Macedonian feta for a flavourful and healthy dish to perfect any of your late summer gatherings.
Ingredients (serves 4):
12 Small Slices Watermelon (3/4” thick)
3 Tbsp – 5 Year Aged Balsamic Vinegar
12-14 Sorrel Leaves, Cut into Ribbons
½” thick 12-14 Purslane Clusters
1 Pinch Maldon Salt
2 oz High Quality Extra virgin Olive Oil
4 oz Macedonian Feta Crumbled
TT Cracked Black Pepper
Method:
Arrange watermelon slices free form in a chilled shallow serving bowl, overlapping slightly. Season generously with half of the olive oil, aged balsamic, and a pinch of Maldon Salt. Cover the watermelon with the purslane, sorrel, and crumbled feta. Finish with remaining olive oil and balsamic, and another pinch of salt. Add enough freshly ground black pepper to give the salad some good residual heat. Serve chilled & enjoy!
