Summer recipe

Watermelon salad with feta and mint

From "Ayurveda against stress" by Kerstin Rosenberg

The combination of sweet melon, salty feta and fresh mint has a cooling, calming effect and balances Vata and Pitta - an ideal combination on hot summer days. The watermelon salad is also ideal as an invigorating lunchtime snack, for overcoming an afternoon slump or after sport.

Watermelon salad with feta and mint

Preparation time approx. 15min 2-3 portions

Ingredients:

1kg watermelon 150g feta cheese 3 stalks of fresh mint 1 heaped pinch of black pepper 1 heaped pinch of cumin seeds, ground 1 teaspoon of lime or lemon juice

Preparation:

  1. Cut open the melon and remove the skin. Cut the flesh into 2-3 cm cubes. Remove as many of the melon seeds as possible.
  2. Drain the feta cheese and roughly crumble with your hands. Strip the mint leaves from the stalks and chop finely.
  3. Place the melon cubes, feta and mint in a salad bowl and mix with pepper, cumin and lime or lemon juice. Leave the watermelon salad to infuse for 5 minutes.

I hope you enjoy cooking it!
