Equipment
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon za’atar or cumin
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups cucumber, diced
- 2 cups cantaloupe melon, diced
- 4 oz feta cheese block, cut into small cubes, omit for vegan
- 1 cup watercress or baby arugula
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine vinegar, olive oil, salt, za’atar and black pepper. Add cucumber, melon and feta cheese. Lightly toss. Top with greens and serve.
Notes
- The 4 oz of feta cheese is about 1 cup chopped – I just bought one of those small blocks and it was perfect. I wouldn’t suggest the pre-crumbled because it reads as a little dry.
- Alternatively, the feta can be mixed into the dressing but it would make it less visually appealing.
- Any aromatic sprouts or lettuce would work here… arugula, wasabi or radish sprouts are great alternatives.
- Swap cantaloupe with papaya, honeydew, or watermelon.
