Cool Summer Salad

This easy salad is perfect for watermelon or less ripe honeydew, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Cut into a smaller dice if you have the time, it is really worth the extra work. If not, roughly chopped ingredients are fine. If you have an extra large Armenian cucumber, cut it into several 2 inch tall pieces, scoop out most of the seeds and fill with the salad for a fancy, fun presentation.

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium sized melon, peeled, seeded and diced small
• 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
• 1 small or ½ large cucumber, diced small
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced small
• 1-2 tablespoon red wine vinegar to taste
• 1-2 tablespoons good quality olive oil
• Small handful feta or queso fresco crumbled
• Salt and pepper to taste
  Chile flakes or powder, if desired

Directions

Mix together all ingredients, except goat cheese. Let salad sit at least 30 minutes in refrigerator. Before serving, mix in cheese. Serve in cucumber cups or small bowls and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
