Very Strange Salad!

I served this a while back. My Mom said it was a very strange salad-but she had 2 helpings! I have always loved the tastes of watermelon with feta cheese and when I saw this salad on " THE ART OF ARMENIAN & MIDDLE EASTERN COOKING " In was very happy to try it-and I liked it- and so did everyone at dinner!

WATERMELON, FETA & OLIVE SALAD

2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Juice of 2 limes
Coarse sea salt and freshly
ground black pepper (OPTIONAL)

1⁄4 small red onion, thinly sliced *

1 2-lb. piece seedless watermelon,
rind removed, cut into 1" cubes
4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled (about 1⁄4 cup)

In a large bowl, whisk together the first 5 ingredients. Add the onions then toss gently with the watermelon and cheese.

*I slice the onions then put them in a baggie with some sea salt. Then squeeze a few times to soften the flavor then strain the juice and add to salad.

**You can add chopped jalapenos or sliced black olives to the salad.
