Watermelon Salad with Feta and Mint Recipe

During what can be stiflingly hot, summer days, everyone craves cool refreshment, for both the body and tongue, whether it be by swimming in the sea, lakes, rivers or swimming pools, sipping iced tea and flavored waters, or staying indoors with the air conditioning and a cooling body treatment or facial. One of our favorite ways to beat the heat is with chilled cuisine, and a particularly refreshing dish is a unique, Watermelon Salad with Feta and  Mint.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

We like the sharp tang of the Tabasco and feta with fruit n this recipe.  The flavor profile is sweet, minty, spicy and tangy.  Lime juice can be used in place of lemon for a more vibrant flavor.
