Seasonal recipe: Mixed Melon Salad

This recipe comes from food educator and SFDC board member, Ibti Vincent, who whipped up a batch at the Snail winning Crossroads Farmers Market during their National Farmers Market Week  celebration!  It was featured in our August 2015 SFDC newsletter.

Ingredients

Salad:

• 1/2 red watermelon, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 yellow watermelon, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 cantaloupe, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1-2 peaches or a pint of berries, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1 handful fresh basil and mint leaves, chopped into thin ribbons
• 1 block feta cheese, crumbled or chopped

Dressing:

• 1 tsp honey
• zest and juice from 1 lime
• 2-3 tsp olive oil
• fresh pepper, to taste

Directions

Whisk together dressing, then toss with remaining ingredients.

Keeps in the fridge for a couple of days...if you can resist devouring the whole bowl that long.
