Summer is finally here! Yay! Here is one of my all-time favorite summer salads. It is a combination of watermelon, mint, and feta cheese, a little olive oil, a big squirt of fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper. It’s so very easy and full of nutrients in every juicy bite.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, to taste
  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 1 cup feta, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mint or more to taste, coarsely chopped, plus more for garnish
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, and lime juice.
  2. To a large serving bowl, add the watermelon, cucumber, feta, and mint. Pour the dressing over the fruit and toss gently to combine.
  3. Garnish with more mint and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Notes

Salt brings out the sweetness in watermelon.

I prefer to use regular feta cheese over pre-crumbled feta. Regular feta cheese adds a wonderfully creamy texture.
