Watermelon Salad

Check out this amazing recipe from Remo @shredhappens. Here's what he has to say:
"Crunchy, creamy, salty, sweet - this refreshing salad is a TRUE mouth party and is SO good. Once you have this combination, I can promise you will never look at watermelon the same again. 

"You own the ratios here, so feel free to modify this however way you want based on your own taste buds."

INGREDIENTS:

  • Watermelon

  • Feta

  • Walnuts

  • Blackberries

  • Mint

  • Lime

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Start with a big base of watermelon chunks - as large or small as you want. I went with about 5 cups of watermelon. Top the watermelon with 2 sliced Persian cucumbers - whatever shape.

  2. Add 6oz of blackberries.

  3. Top with 1/3 cup of toasted and cooled walnuts.

  4. Crumble up 4 ounces of feta over everything and save about an ounce for later.

  5. Zest two limes, then squeeze the juice of those two limes over the salad. Add two tablespoons of the highest quality olive oil you have. Add a couple small pinches of sea salt (dont go overboard since feta is quite salty) 

  6. Add a tablespoon or so of chile lime seasoning or tajin.Give everything a really good mix, gently so as to not crush the watermelon, then give it a taste and modify as needed.

  7. This is best served IMMEDIATELY and try and share it!

ENJOY!!
