- 1 small, seedless watermelon, rid removed and cut into 1″ cubes
- 1 small red onion, shaved into paper thin rings
- 1 cup cilantro leaves, picked from stems
- 1 cup Feta, crumbled (preferably from sheep milk from Greece)
- 4 cloves garlic, roasted to golden brown
- 1 teaspoon Key lime zest
- 1/2 cup Key lime juice
- 1/2 cup lightly flavored olive oil
- 1/4 cup agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon powdered mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
In blender, blend lime juice, lime zest, roasted garlic, agave syrup, mustard, and cumin.
With the blender on low, slowly emulsify the oil.
