This week\u2019s recipe makes great use of both ingredients as toppings on slices of grilled French bread.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that French bread is better known as bruschetta. Funny story about bruschetta: Until about a year ago, I\u2019d spent the first 30-something years of my life pronouncing it \u201cbroo-shetta.\u201d Pretty much just like it looks, right? But that\u2019s not how you say it. The correct pronunciation is \u201cbroo-sketta.\u201d Or, if you\u2019re placing the emphasis on the second syllable, it\u2019s \u201cbroo-SKEH-tah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However you pronounce it, you might just decide to call this dish \u201cdelicious.\u201d Or, \u201cdeeee-licious.\u201d It\u2019s really up to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATERMELON FETA BRUSCHETTA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)<br \/>\n2 cups diced watermelon<br \/>\n1 cup feta cheese, cut into fine diced cubes<br \/>\n2 tablespoons minced fresh chives<br \/>\n2 tablespoon minced fresh mint<br \/>\n4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, or to taste<\/p>\n<p>For 16 toasts:<br \/>\nA 24-inch-long loaf of crust Italian or French bread<br \/>\n1 garlic clove<br \/>\n1\/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil<\/p>\n<p><strong>INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a bowl, toss together watermelon, cheese, chives, mint, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste and mound about 1 tablespoon on oiled side of each toast.<\/p>\n<p>To make toasts: Prepare grill or preheat broiler. With a serrated knife cut bread crosswise into 1\/2-inch-thick slices. Combine the oil and garlic together and spread it on one side of the cut bread. Arrange bread slices in one layer in a shallow baking pan and bake in middle of oven until golden, about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more recipes, check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.watermelon.org\/Recipes\/Default.aspx\">\u201cRecipes\u201d section<\/a> of the National Watermelon Promotion Board website.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now, regular readers of this blog are well aware of the delectable combination of feta cheese and watermelon.
