Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced
- 3 oz feta, cubed
- 1/3 cup fresh mint, chopped
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/8 tsp salt (adjust to preference)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive or avocado oil, lemon or lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Whisk or shake vigorously until the dressing is fully emulsified and well combined. Set aside.
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed watermelon, sliced cucumber, cubed feta cheese, and freshly chopped mint leaves. Gently toss these ingredients together to distribute evenly.
- Add Dressing and Toss: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated with the flavorful dressing without breaking up the watermelon or feta.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the salad bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld nicely and keeps the salad refreshing. Serve cold and enjoy.
Notes
- Use seedless watermelon for convenience and better texture.
- Fresh mint is key for authentic flavor but can be substituted with basil if needed.
- Adjust the amount of honey and salt to your personal taste preference.
- This salad is best eaten the same day but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- For a vegan version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
