When I was growing up, my grandmother always sprinkled a bit of salt on melon just before serving. The salt brightens up the flavor of the watermelon and the sumac in this recipe adds a citrusy kick.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped watermelon, chilled
- 1 cup cucumber, peeled, sliced into half moons
- ¼ cup radish, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

- ½ teaspoon sumac
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Olive oil
- 4 ounces feta cheese
Preparation
Combine watermelon with cucumber, radish, onion and herbs in a bowl. Sprinkle with sumac, salt and a generous pour of olive oil. Cover; marinate refrigerated for at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle with feta cheese.
