Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 red onion, halved and sliced lengthwise
  • 1 cucumber, halved, seeded, scored with a zester, and sliced into half-moons
  • 1 small seedless watermelon (preferably the “sugar baby” variety), chopped
  • 4 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, sugar, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the black pepper, and the red pepper flakes until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Add the red onion and let the mixture stand for 1 to 2 hours. Drain the red onion, discarding the liquid.
  3. Make one large salad in a salad bowl or make individual salads by gently combining the red onion, cucumber, watermelon, and feta.
  4. Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and lightly drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Garnish with chopped mint.
