Watermelon and Radish Salad
2 servings
15 minutes
Watermelon and radish salad is an exquisite combination of freshness and spiciness that brings a summer mood even on cool days. Bright red watermelon slices fill the dish with juiciness, while crunchy radish adds a light sharpness. Inspired by Mediterranean motifs, this salad combines the sweetness of fruit, the spicy freshness of basil and mint, the piquancy of chili, and the creamy tenderness of feta cheese. The dressing made from olive oil and lime juice emphasizes the harmony of flavors, while balsamic sauce adds noble notes. An ideal option for a light summer dinner or an original addition to a festive table.
