Watermelon Salad with Feta Cheese and Pesto Sauce
4 servings
20 minutes
A recipe from Taleh Gamidov, chef of the Zafferano City restaurant. Watermelon goes well with salty flavors like feta cheese, as well as with bread. The combination may seem strange at first glance, but believe me, the taste is simply excellent and watermelon will open up to you in a completely new way.
