Watermelon Summer Salad
Watermelon salad is a refreshing summer dish that brings together vibrant, fresh flavors in every bite. It combines juicy watermelon, crunchy pistachio kernels, and creamy feta cheese for a balanced mix of sweet, salty, and crisp textures. A drizzle of Zejd Lemon Infused Olive Oil adds a bright, zesty finish that lifts the entire dish and ties all the flavors together. Light, colorful, and full of contrast, this salad is perfect for warm sunny days when you want something simple, fresh, and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup pistachio kernels
- 1/2 of a small seedless watermelon (1.75kg), peeled and quartered
- 1/4 cup Zejd lemon infused olive oil
- 125g feta cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Toast the pistachios in a small frying pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are lightly browned. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for 5 minutes, before roughly chopping them.
- Cut the watermelon quarters into wedges about 1cm thick. Arrange them on serving plates.
- Season the Zejd lemon infused olive oil in a bowl with salt and pepper. Crumble the feta over the watermelon wedges and sprinkle with the chopped pistachios. Drizzle the seasoned oil over the salad and serve.
