Watermelon and Feta Salad

in Food & Drink on 05/08/13

I’m an Instagram ADDICT. Really though, who isn’t these days?

One of the reasons I love Instagram is because I find a lot of really great inspiration through people or companies that I follow. The reason I became so interested in blogging in the first place is for the same reason. I love being inspired by people’s posts and pictures, because I get so many new ideas to try out for myself. Seriously, most of the time, the blogs I read in the evening influence the next day’s outfit. Other times, I get recipe ideas through blogs and Instagram.

I recently saw a picture of watermelon and feta salad on Food Network Canada’s Instagram. It looked so appealing and of course, brought back memories from last summer, where I sat on the dock at a friend’s cottage, munching on the very same thing.

This isn’t a food combination I’d really thought of since then, so I went to the store and bought the ingredients to make my own.


INSPIRATION




There was no real “recipe” to follow for this type of salad. I just tossed the following ingredients together and it was fabulous!

– Cubed Watermelon
– Finely diced red onion
– Crumbled Feta
– Parsley (although mint or basil would be delicious instead)
– A dash of pepper (no salt because of the feta being so salty)
– Drizzle of EVOO and Red Wine Vinegar

What was the best part of this creation, you wonder? I posted a picture of the salad on Instagram with a “shout-out” to Food Network, and got the notification below:

It’s the simple pleasures in life, right?! 🙂

      The “like” was awesome, but it really is an unexpected combination that just worked.

    I had that in a restaurant by accident last summer (it came as a side) and although the idea sounded so weird, it was actually amazing! I agree that it was an unexpected combo but works:)

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
