Ingredients
- ½ small watermelon (cut into 1 ½ inch cubes - approximately 3 cup)
- 1 stalk green onion (finely chopped, both the greens and whites but discard the very end with the roots)
- 1 lime (juiced - approximately 2 tablespoons)
- 1 cup pickled daikon radish
- ¼ cup feta (crumbled)
- 3 tablespoon sweet Vidalia onion or red onion (finely chopped)
- black sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the watermelon into 1 ½ inch cubes (using a melon baller is a fun way to shape these as well) and set it in a bowl
- Cut the pickled daikons into ½ inch cubes and add it to the bowl
- Dice the onions finely and add it to the bowl. If you want to take the strong onion bite out of the onions, soak it in cold water in another bowl for a few minutes before using them.
- Remove the tips of the green onions and discard the roots. Finely chop the green onions, both greens, and whites, and place them in the bowl
- Crumble the ¼ cup feta over everything in the bowl
- Cut the lime in half and squeeze out the juice and put it into the bowl
- Gently mix everything in the bowl together
- Top with black sesame seeds (optional)
- Enjoy as a salad, appetizer, side dish or snack!
Notes
- to remove the bite of raw onions, after you finished chopping them, soak them in cold water for 1 minute and then drain and rinse them out.
- this salad is best enjoyed when it has freshly been prepared.
