Description

A refreshing salad combining sweet watermelon and salty feta, perfect for hot summer days.


Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cubed seedless watermelon (Cold and juicy for best flavor.)
  • 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (Block feta is preferred for creaminess.)
  • 1 medium Cucumber, sliced (Half moons are recommended for texture.)
  • 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced (Soak in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce sharpness if desired.)
  • 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves, torn (Fresh mint adds a cooling flavor.)
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice (Freshly squeezed is best.)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil (A small drizzle enhances flavor.)
  • to taste none Black pepper (A must for seasoning.)


Instructions

Preparation

  1. Chop the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. If it’s super juicy, let it sit in a colander for a minute.
  2. Slice the cucumber into half-moons, not too thin.
  3. Slice a little red onion. Soak in cold water if you find it too sharp.
  4. Toss the watermelon, cucumber, and onion in a big bowl.
  5. Add crumbled feta and torn mint leaves.
  6. Finish with lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and black pepper. Toss gently.

Notes

Best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days. Drain excess liquid before serving leftovers.
