Ingredients

2 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon za’atar or cumin
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 cups cucumber (diced)
2 cups cantaloupe melon (diced)
4 oz feta cheese block ((in water) cut into small cubes, omit for vegan)
1 cup watercress (or baby arugula*)

Instructions

In a small bowl combine vinegar, olive oil, salt, za’atar and black pepper. Add cucumber, melon and feta cheese. Lightly toss.
Top with greens and serve.

Notes

The 4 oz of feta cheese is about 1 cup chopped – I just bought one of those small blocks and it was perfect. I wouldn't suggest the pre-crumbled because it reads as a little dry. Alternatively, the feta can be mixed into the dressing but it would make it less visually appealing.
*Any aromatic sprouts/lettuce would work here… arugula, wasabi or radish sprouts are great alternatives.
Swap cantaloupe with papaya, honeydew, or watermelon.
