French Feta?! Next you’re telling us to buy German Gruyère 😂
I’m Greek, and I know this is commonly eaten in Greece, but I can’t pair these two. Everyone says it’s delicious but I just can’t do it.
I love this recipe video, I found myself almost licking the screen of my tablet! This weekend I plan on making salmon salad sandwiches, and ramen with fresh onion, garlic, and ginger.
I make something very similar. I just add cantaloupe and mint to mine. It’s so good and refreshing on a hot summer day!
I like making this salad though i usually don't use cucumber. Sometimes I mix in baby spinach leaves and pickled onion instead of the shallot. I'll try it this way next time
No need to add lemon juice since the feta is acidic enough. Also try using mint instead of parsley.
I liked this recipe!! Very pretty and delicious! ❤❤😋
I love that moment in life when it's like; Ah…. It's time to watch Julia or Bridget,r and it's like, family. Right in n our homes.
That looks great!,,
This is some white people stuff.
Water melon without the seeds? That’s a one for rubbish bin
I had this at a restaurant once, and fell in love with this unlikely pairing (watermelon and feta). Their dressing was a kind of champagne vinaigrette, and they served it with arugula, pickled red onions and mint. Your version looks delicious.
I'd make more of the dressing, to serve on the side.
I'm not ready for summer to be over yet!
Looks delicious!
Flaked chili 🌶️ are the only things missing in this beautiful salad 😊
Personally I'd replace the parsley with mint or basil to go with the other ingredients
I peel the cucumbers. Love it with some black olives … Skip the parsley, add chopped heart of iceberg lettuce …. I use lime, not lemon.
FYI: If y'all haven't seen or hear about it, there's some HUGE problems when it comes to watermelons.
It's horrible.
Watermelon is my favorite fruit.
There's many videos on YT.
Julia and Kent Rollins must be making enough food to feed 2 cowboy groups. Each day of a massive new dinner (not to count a huge breakfast and huge lunch) … and there has to be a whole group of Hungrymans there … or Julia is feeding the local homeless population.
As a little girl in Greece, my mom would always give us watermelon and feta in the summer after swimming at the beach… that was 50 years ago, and her mother did the same 50 years before that! 😁
