As soon as there are the first watermelons<\/strong> on the market, the big knocking begins for me. I run from melon to melon and hold my ear to it and begin my extensive investigation. What does the perfect melon sound like? It sounds a little hollow, but still not too hollow – you know what I mean?! The sound needs to be balanced, harmonious, and kind of juicy. Anyway, I always need the most perfect watermelons for my melon salad with feta and olives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refreshing watermelon salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Besides taboul\u00e9<\/a> and fattoush<\/a>, there is actually hardly a better salad for me in the summer than the watermelon salad<\/strong>. The sweet freshness of watermelon combined with hearty feta, aromatic olives and mint is simply an absolute dream. Especially the mint gives the salad again a proper freshness kick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the melon salad I treat myself to a cool homemade lemonade<\/a> and the summer cooling program starts: Legs up and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aromatic olives go super well with it!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With olives I am actually always an absolute advocate of olives with stone. These have more flavor, but must be nibbled off. In order not to diminish the fun of the melon salad<\/strong> and not to have to bite again and again on a stone, I reach here then but rather to the already pitted olives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need a tip on the olive variety for the melon salad, I can really recommend the super aromatic Kalamata olives<\/strong>! I could also eat away like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know I could pit them by hand myself, but… nooooo. The melon salad also lives from the fact that it is prepared so quickly. Oh yeah: If you, like me, are also totally into cilantro<\/strong>, then swap out the mint for it. That tastes then again a whole number different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, the big knock on the watermelon continues after the meal: on my full belly! Bon appetite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
