Watermelon Wedge Salads with Mint Pesto

Yum
 Look how pretty these are! I was trying to think of a way to use up a ton of watermelon and mint that I had and came up with these gorgeous summer wedges!
The mint pesto is so simple to throw together and can absolutely be made in advance and any leftovers are fabulous on grilled fish or chicken.
The salty feta, fresh mint pesto and juicy sweet watermelon is a match made in summer heaven

Watermelon Wedge Salads with Mint Pesto
1 clove garlic
1 cup mint leaves
½ cup parsley leaves
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
5 pounds seedless watermelon wedges
1 cup feta cheese crumbles
¼ cup diced red onion


Place the garlic in a small food processor and pulse until well chopped. Add the mint leaves, parsley, red wine vinegar, salt and olive oil and process until smooth. 

Place the watermelon wedges on a large serving platter and sprinkle with the feta cheese and red onion. Drizzle with mint pesto and serve immediately.

  1. Hi there. I'd like to share these pics with my child after school -- maybe you'll laugh but I'd rather call it watermelon pizza ����

    Is it sweet and sour? Thank you for sharing.

    1. Watermelon Pizza sounds great to me!!

      It's more sweet and savory, not really sour. The salt from the feta really works well with the naturally sweet watermelon!
