Sumac--available at spice stores--adds a subtle piney, tangy note, but don't worry if you can't find it: The salad will still have loads of flavor complexity without it. You could also sub 1 teaspoon of prepared horseradish for the wasabi powder.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi powder
  • 3 tarragon sprigs
  • 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry or white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground sumac (optional)
  • 8 cups cubed red watermelon
  • 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 cup sliced pitted kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a medium saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat; cool completely. Place cucumber slices in a large bowl; pour vinegar mixture over cucumbers. Cover and chill cucumber and vinegar mixture 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Combine oil, vinegar, and sumac, if desired, in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Strain cucumbers; discard liquid and tarragon sprigs. Place about 2 tablespoons cucumbers on each of 8 plates. Place 1 cup watermelon cubes on each plate. Top watermelon evenly with cheese, mint, olives, and dill. Drizzle evenly with vinaigrette.
