2 cups seedless watermelon chunks
3 kalamata olives, sliced
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
4 grape tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup strips shaved proccuito ham
1T extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
Coarse salt
Fresh ground pepper
Watercress sprigs
Arrange watermelon, olives, feta, tomato, and proccuito on a serving platter. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and fresh ground pepper. Garnish with sprigs of watercress and enjoy a wonderful summer salad.
The watermelon should be cut into 1"x1" cubes. The watercress should have no large stems. Use a 12 year old balsamic at least; 25 years is ideal.
Number of Servings: 2 to 4
Aged balsamic vinegar is more expensive, but a little goes a long way to flavor this Mediterranean-style watermelon salad.
