Salad Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon, cubed
- 2 cups cucumber, cubed
- 1 cup Danish feta cheese, cubed
- ½ cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
- ½ cup red onion, finely sliced
- ⅓ cup pomegranate seeds
Dressing Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Combine salad ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cubed cucumber, watermelon, Danish feta cheese, roughly chopped mint leaves, and finely sliced red onion.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, pomegranate molasses, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined and smooth.
- Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the watermelon salad components and gently stir to coat all the ingredients evenly without breaking up the watermelon and feta cubes.
- Serve the salad: Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the top for a burst of color and texture. Serve immediately for best freshness.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe watermelon for the best flavor and sweetness.
- If pomegranate molasses is unavailable, substitute with a mix of balsamic vinegar and a little honey as an alternative.
- Chill the salad ingredients before assembling for a more refreshing taste.
- This salad is best served fresh and not stored for long periods as watermelon releases water.
- Adjust the salt and pepper according to personal taste preferences.
