The best part about summer is having a wide variety of salads to choose from and eating them all. Watermelon is perhaps everyone’s favorite summer fruit, which we consume on a daily basis. It’s delicious on its own or in salads. Every backyard BBQ party or picnic should include a salty, sweet, and refreshing watermelon feta salad. The perfect summer salad is watermelon cubes mixed with fresh mint leaves and crumbled feta cheese. The watermelon and feta salad are vibrant, healthful, and simple to prepare. To make a dish stand out, it’s all about the flavors and seasonings. It’s even better if it’s a salad! A simple watermelon salad is elevated to new heights with the addition of olive oil, lime juice, salt, and freshly ground pepper.
Ingredients
Seedless Watermelon – If not available, try your best to remove the seeds from your cubes.
Fresh Mint – Fresh mint’s vibrant herbaceousness unites the savory and sweet aspects of this salad.
Feta Cheese – The salty feta cheese is the true star of the show. For the greatest flavor and consistency, choose feta made from sheep’s or goat’s milk.
Red Onion – It’s the peppery taste of red onion that elevates this meal from fruit salad to salad.
Lime – If you like, you can substitute balsamic or apple cider vinegar for the lime.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – It’s ideal for raw dishes because it has a fruitier, more enjoyable flavor.
Salt and pepper are basic but vital ingredients to completing this summer side dish.
Method
To begin, prepare your salad dressing. Use a tiny jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add all of the ingredients, close the cover, and shake until everything is well blended. It’s so simple, and there’s almost no cleanup! Take a look at how well it emulsifies. Yum! In a mixing bowl, combine the watermelon, red onion pieces, and mint. Toss gently after drizzling with dressing to taste. Top with feta cheese once all of the ingredients have been mixed. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if required, then eat right away!
