Yay or Nay? Dish for a potluck

[lolly]

I can't decide if this looks tasty or just weird.  Would you bring this to a potluck BBQ next weekend?

Watermelon, Feta, and Black Olive Salad

Ingredients
1 small red onion, cut into thin half moon slices
2 -3 limes, juice of
1/2 lb feta cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 cups watermelon, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 cup pitted oil-cured black olive
1 cup whole flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions
Place the onion slices in a small bowl, add the juices from the limes; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the feta cheese cubes with the watermelon cubes, the black olives, parsley, mint, olive oil, and pepper.
Add the onion and lime juice mixture and gently toss to combine.

I would never bring something I hadn't had before. Also, I would never bring that.

[lime]

I guess I'm weird, because I would totally try that if someone brought it.

I'd pick off the onions, though. LOL

I'll eat almost anything, but this sounds putrid. olives and watermelon? yucj

[bania]

Hmmmm. I may try it. It doesn't sound very good though.

[hymen]

Pass.

[lolly]

Ha - thanks ladies! My first instinct was weird too but I thought I was missing something. I'll keep looking...

[kaybee85]

I would try this before bringing it anywhere.

[spedrunner]

i personally would not eat it, but i dont like fruit with veggies/cheese, etc....i like my fruit as is  LOL

[psychmom]

I think it would be good without the olives

[lilybug]

I wouldn't make this, but I would try it if someone else brought it. I don't think olives and fruit would mix well, but I love both, so I guess it would be worth a shot.

I had something very similar at a restaurant once and it was delicious. I would not take it to a potluck, though, because most people will think it's weird and not eat it.

[sonrisa]

I wouldn't take something I hadn't tried. However, I'd try that.

One of my friends made an app yesterday with watermelon that was amazing.

Cube of watermelon with crumbled feta and sliced fresh basil on top.

SO simple and so good.

[textbookcase]

I make this and it's delicious. I use kalamata olives.

Thanks! Maybe I will give that a test run this week.

My favorite salad is this, minus the olives, over baby spinach. Delicious!

I have seen this made and it does not look bad, I just don't know if I would like the combo.

I have made a pesto pasta salad and people loved it.

1 pound pasta
i containor of buotoni pesto (or other brand you like or homemade)
I can black olives cut up
1 quart of grape tomatoes cut up
either mozzarella or feta cheese.

Keep chilled for awhile and add the cheese in the last hour or it will start to melt. lol
