Watermelon & Feta Salad

This is one of my favorite salad recipes and it comes from my cookbook Passover – A Kosher Collection.

Now that we’re experiencing summer weather and the watermelon is plentiful, it’s a fantastic way to enjoy watermelon. The salty creamy feta cheese is a great contrast to the sweet, crisp watermelon. Chilled, with lime juice and fresh mint – this salad screams summer!

For a different taste profile, switch out the balsamic vinegar for the lime juice and fresh basil for the mint.  Delicious!

After growing up in the family catering business, I left home for university and earned a degree in Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management. After returning to Winnipeg and the family business,  it didn't take long for me to start testing and trying new recipes. I decided to combine my interest in creating recipes with my love of writing and wrote Soup - A Kosher Collection - my first kosher cookbook. Just in time for Passover 2010, my second cookbook Passover - A Kosher Collection was published. My third cookbook, Pam's Cookie Collection is the third book in my collection.
