A refreshing and unusual salad, ideal as part of a Mediterranean meal on a hot summer's day. I have posted this along with three other recipes using ouzo, from an article featuring ouzo, in the October 2005 issue of 'Australian Good Taste'. The other three recipes are Chocolate Bullets, Ouzo-Poached Cherries With Waffles & Cinnamon & Ouzo Iced Tea.

Ouzo Dressing
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

- fresh ground pepper, to taste
Directions
1
Ouzo Dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, oil and ouzo in a medium-sized jug and season to taste.2

Watermelon and feta cheese, what a wonderful combination! I actually added more cheese than the recipe called for (double or more), but that's my only recommendation as this recipe was quite nice as is too. The liquor store ran out of ouzo so I used sambuca instead, which is also an anisette liquor but a bit sweeter. Because of that I thought I should add more vinegar to the dressing, which I did (and cut back a bit on the oil). Unusual combination maybe, but I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised! Thanks bluemoon downunder!
