A refreshing salad of sweet watermelon, salty feta, fresh mint, and a light citrus dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups seedless watermelon, cut in 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup cucumber, thin half-moons (optional)
  • 1/2 small red onion, very thin slices (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or lemon)
  • Pinch of fine sea salt, to taste
  • Fresh black pepper, to taste
  • Optional finish: drizzle of balsamic glaze, flaky salt, or chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare the produce. Cut the watermelon into cubes. Slice the cucumber and red onion thinly. Tear the mint leaves.
  2. Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
  3. Combine the base. In a large bowl, add watermelon, cucumber, and red onion.
  4. Dress and toss. Pour the dressing over the bowl and toss gently to coat without crushing the fruit.
  5. Add mix-ins. Sprinkle in the feta and torn mint. Toss very lightly to keep feta in chunks.
  6. Chill to meld flavors. Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes so the salad gets extra cold and the flavors blend.
  7. Finish and serve. Taste and adjust salt and lime. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a pinch of flaky salt if you like. Serve cold.

Notes

Best the day it is made. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
