Watermelon, Feta & Mint Salad
Recipe | Watermelon, Feta & Mint Salad
Speaking of summer, and weddings, and watermelon love...
All
three came together tastily when sweet niece, Charisa, was married at
the farm. Paired with perfectly pulled pork sliders, prepared by Paul
(see what I did there?!) this watermelon, feta cheese, and mint salad
was sweet, salty, and refreshing! Liven up any summer meal with it!
Ingredients:
-
1 small seedless watermelon (about 5-6 cups), cut into 1" cubes or balled
- juice from 1 lime
- about 1.2 cup fresh mint, chopped
- 3/4 cup feta, broken into large chunks or cut into 1/2" cubes
-
freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Cut or ball watermelon into 1" bites size pieces
- Break feta into chunks or cut into 1/2" cubes
- In
a large bowl, combine the watermelon and lime juice. Gently fold in the
feta, sprinkle with mint, and season to taste with freshly ground black
pepper
- Serve up some Summer Yum!
St.Lukes Indian Summer~Tidbit Of The Month

Lovely, summer like days that occur around October 18 are called Saint Luke’s Little Summer in honor of the saint’s feast day. Around this time, Saint Luke’s feast day, there is a period brief period of calm, dry weather. Of course, it’s difficult to generalize today across the vast continent of North America, but the temperature is usually mild and the leaf colors are turning a gorgeous color. It’s a good time for a brief vacation or visit to a park. In Venice, Italy, they say: “San Luca, El ton va te la zuca” (Pumpkins go stale on St Luke’s Day), but here in North America, pumpkins are enjoying their finest hour. Saint Luke is the patron saint of physicians and surgeons so it seems only fitting that the good doctor give us these calm days. In olden days, St. Luke’s Day did not receive as much attention in the secular world as St. John’s Day (June 24) and Michaelmas (September 29), so it was to keep from being forgotten that St. Luke presented us with some golden days to cherish before the coming of winter, or so the story goes. Some folks call this Indian Summer, but that officially occurs between November 11 and November 20.
