It's fun to see how something as simple (and delicious!) as a Watermelon can be taken to fantastic new heights by a few ingredients. While the main highlight of this salad is indeed Watermelon - grab a bite and suddenly you're talking Gourmet! I've tried a variation of this salad at Cafe Suzette (excellent food btw.) in Mumbai and that's what got my mind ticking for this recipe :-)

| Looks good, Tastes better - The Super-Simple Watermelon Salad! |
Ingredients (for 1-2 servings):
- 2 Cups of Watermelon - Diced into Bite sized cubes.
- 1 Spoon of Feta Cheese - Crumbled.
- 1-2 Spoons of Roasted Flax Seeds.
- Herbs: Mint or Coriander Leaves - I used fresh coriander leaves here.
- Seasoning: Salt / Pepper to taste.
- A drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

| With Feta Cheese and Flax Seeds - this salad is testimony to magic :-) |
Preparation:
- Being a relatively simple salad - I tried my best to present it well for visual appeal! I cut a disk of water melon and rounded it with triangles for a nice visual presentation!
- Top off the Watermelon cubes (or triangles like me!) with crumbled Feta cheese.
- Season (go slow on salt because Feta is salty) with Salt and Pepper. Garnish with Herbs and Roasted Flax Seeds (they take this salad to next level!).
- Drizzle a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Serve! This salad best goes when slightly chilled.
Enjoy!
