Watermelon is the ultimate summer treat, and adding it to savory dishes is a complete game changer. This salad is my go to when the temperatures climb because it is light, refreshing, and tastes like sunshine on a plate.

The secret to this dish is the balance of flavors. The salty feta cuts through the natural sweetness of the fruit while fresh mint and lime juice brighten everything up. It is the perfect side dish for any backyard barbecue.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • A pinch of sea salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place your cubed watermelon into a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the sliced red onion and torn mint leaves on top of the melon.

  3. 3

    In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle the crumbled feta over the top right before you serve it.

💡 Tips

Serve this salad chilled for the best experience. If you are prepping ahead, keep the feta separate until the very last second to keep it from getting too soft. Leftovers are best eaten within a day since the melon releases water as it sits.
