Watermelon Feta Salad

With the 4th of July celebration tomorrow, you may be looking for a quick and easy crowd-pleasing dish to bring to the festivities. I took this to a summer party a few years ago and not only was it was the first thing gone from the party table, but I was giving out the recipe all night long! Impress your friends with this super yummy summer treat and have a safe and happy holiday! 

**If you want to skip the cheese, just substitute with 1-cup cashews pulsed in the food processor with ½ teaspoon of salt and stir it in! 

            6 cups cubed watermelon
         1 cup crumbled sheep's feta cheese**
         ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
         ¼ cup chopped fresh mint
         ¼ cup fresh lime juice
         1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil


Combine watermelon, feta cheese, red onion, and mint in a large bowl. Pour the limejuice and olive oil over the watermelon mixture and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
Yield: 6-8 servings
Prep Time: 25-30 minutes
