Ingredients

SALAD

3 cups watermelon, seedless, cubed (3/4" x 3/4") about 1 large watermelon
1 .5 cups feta, cubed
1/2 cup moroccan olives, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup lemon grass, coarsely chopped

VINAIGRETTE

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together.

SALAD

Place skillet over medium heat, and add pumpkin seeds and gently brown - don't scortch. Set aside.
This recipe works best plated out, instead of served at the table in a big bowl. So, select four of your favorite medium plates, or even better - four shallow soup bowls.
Fill each plate or bowl with watermelon evenly. Add olives and pumpkin seeds and drizzle vinaigrette over the tops to create a little resavoir of liquid at the bottom of the plate or bowl.
Add fetta, and top with lemongrass & mint. Enjoy!
