Paula's Watermelon, Mint, Feta Salad...Yes, Please!

Watermelon salad always makes me feel like a snooty gourmet.  It is so elegant and sophisticated...who knew it was so easy!  My favorite recipe is from my gal Paula Deen.  You really need to make this recipe some time this summer.

Paula's Watermelon, Mint and Feta Salad

1/2 regular size seedless watermelon, cubed
1 sweet onion (like Vidalia) diced
1 (4 oz) container crumbled feta cheese
2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves (y'all can help yourself to the mint by my driveway)

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

In large bowl, combine cubed watermelon, diced onion, feta, and mint.  In separate bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Pour over watermelon salad.  Toss to coat.  Serve.  Note:  I like to eat this right away.  Keith prefers is a day later when the melon and onion has soaked up the dressing.
