There is nothing quite like this Watermelon Feta Salad on a hot summer afternoon. The balance between the juicy, sweet fruit and the tangy, salty cheese is truly special, making it a favorite side dish for backyard barbecues and light lunches.

For the best results, make sure to use a seedless watermelon and a high quality block of feta cheese that you can crumble yourself. A quick drizzle of good olive oil right before serving brings all the flavors together beautifully.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the cubed watermelon in a large serving bowl.

  2. 2

    Scatter the crumbled feta, sliced red onions, and fresh mint leaves over the watermelon.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Toss everything very gently to combine and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

This salad is best enjoyed as soon as it is made so the watermelon stays crisp. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day, though the watermelon will release quite a bit of juice.
