From the Source, Season 1Cheese
Ingredients
- 3 ripe peaches
- 1 summer melon such as cantaloupe or honeydew
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, or fresh farmer's cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh mint picked and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons moscatel vinegar substitute champagne vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey to taste
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Cut the peaches into thin, bite-sized wedges, removing the pits. Place the peach slices into a large mixing bowl.
- To prepare the melon, cut it in half lengthwise, removing the seeds. Cut each half again lengthwise, so the melon is in quarters. With a knife, slowly carve the outside skin off each melon quarter. Cut the wedges into a large, rustic dice and add the melon to the bowl with the peaches.
- Crumble the cheese into the bowl. Add the mint, olive oil, vinegar, and honey and toss to combine. Taste for sweetness, adding more honey if desired. Salt to taste.
