I love summer! And I love summer dishes because they don't require long cooking times and are usually very quickly put together. Hands down this Ultimate Summer Watermelon Salad with Feta and Mint is our family's favourite summer dish. And because we have summer here in Oz right now we have been enjoying this delicious salad two or three times a week.
This watermelon salad is very easy to make and can be served with pretty much anything. Our favorites are grilled halloumi or chicken skewers. But my kids will eat it just with fresh crunchy bread and who will blame them, it tastes soooo good.
As strange as it might sound, but the combination of the sweetness from the watermelon and saltiness from feta cheese is a marriage made in heaven. Fresh mint leaves elevate the summer flavors even more and the sourness of lime juice brings it all together. And did I mentioned you can put it together in under ten minutes? Yusss!
Start by cutting your watermelon into bite-sized cubes. You can put the cut watermelon in the colander to remove the excess juice, however, I never do this and my salad has never been watery. Now combine the freshly squeezed juice with olive oil, mint leaves, and some crumbled feta.
Add watermelon to the mix and toss gently to combine. Transfer watermelon into a salad bowl, generously sprinkle more crumbled feta, and finish off with some fresh mint leaves. How easy was this? Do you have your ultimate watermelon salad with feta and mint recipe? Let me know in the comments, I would love to hear from you!
