Surprise chef watermelon and feta salad

We sometimes play surprise chef every now and again when it seems like the cupboards are bare. This week, we had watermelon left over from a picnic. We had never tried this salad before, and there were some reservations but it was surprisingly good.

We used lemon thyme (because our normal thyme is on death row) and made a lemon vinaigrette to go with it. So it was like lemony, salty watermelon. Yum.

Watermelon and Feta Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette and Lemon Thyme

¼ ripe watermelon

100g crumbled feta

Lemon vinaigrette:

Juice of ½ lemon

3-4 TBS olive oil

½ tsp Dijon mustard

1 clove of garlic

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Lemon thyme

To make vinaigrette:

Rub the mixing bowl with clove of garlic. Add olive oil and squeeze in the lemon juice. Add salt and freshly cracked black pepper and the Dijon mustard. Whisk.

Slice the watermelon into large cubes, crumble over the feta.

Drizzle over the vinaigrette and then finish with the lemon thyme and more cracked pepper.
