Salad with Watermelon, Feta Cheese and Cherry at the Mindal Restaurant

Salad with Watermelon, Feta Cheese and Cherry at the Mindal RestaurantIn Eastern cuisine, the season rarely follows the calendar – it is determined by the ripeness of the produce. That is precisely why watermelon, having absorbed the maximum of sun and sweetness, became the starting point for a new salad at Alexander Rappoport's restaurant Mindal. Everything else here is merely a delicate accent, allowing it to shine even brighter.In Eastern cuisine, the season rarely follows the calendar – it is determined by the ripeness of the produce. That is precisely why watermelon, having absorbed the maximum of sun and sweetness, became the starting point for a new salad at Alexander Rappoport's restaurant Mindal . Everything else here is merely a delicate accent, allowing it to shine even brighter. At first glance, it is a simple and universally understood combination: watermelon and feta cheese – a winning union of freshness and salt. But Chef Fuad Aliyev loves it when the classics have a continuation. And while for some, adding another berry to the salad may come as a surprise, for the chef, cherry is already a classic – his signature sweet-and-sour Eastern note. Then comes almond, transporting guests to a nut shop somewhere in the East. And in the finale – mint and fragrant basil, which tie all the accents together into a single author's interpretation of a familiar combination, now told in an Eastern way.
