Maryland’s Best Featured Recipe

Watermelon and Feta Salad
This vibrant and refreshing Watermelon and Feta Salad with Champagne Mint Vinaigrette is a stunning combination of sweet, salty, and herbaceous flavors that perfectly captures the essence of warm-weather dining. Juicy, ruby-red cubes of watermelon are lightly kissed with a bright and elegant champagne mint vinaigrette before being layered over a bed of crisp, dressed salad greens. The dish is then crowned with crumbles of creamy, tangy feta cheese and finished with a delicate garnish of fresh mint leaves. The vinaigrette itself is a harmonious blend of ingredients brought together in a food processor, with a slow drizzle of olive oil creating a silky, well-emulsified dressing that ties the entire salad together. Whether served as a light lunch or a show-stopping starter, this salad is as beautiful to look at as it is to eat.
