Watermelon Salad with Cucumber and Feta – Summer’s Best Bite


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced or halved and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped or torn
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: thinly sliced red onion, a pinch of chili flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Prep the Produce: Cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces. Slice the cucumber thin. If using red onion, slice it very thin.
  2. Combine the Salad: In a large bowl, gently toss watermelon, cucumber, red onion (if using), and mint.
  3. Dress It: Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze the lime juice over the top. Toss lightly to combine.
  4. Add Feta and Seasoning: Crumble feta cheese over the salad. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add chili flakes if you like a kick.
  5. Serve Immediately: Best served cold, straight from the fridge or chilled just before serving.

Notes

Don’t overdress the salad. Watermelon releases juice over time, and too much liquid can make the dish soggy. Dress it just before serving.
