How to make watermelon feta salad with mint
Prep ingredients
I used half of a quarter wedge of watermelon to make 2 salad servings. Feel free to use an entire quarter wedge to double the recipe in order to make 4 servings. Or scale up as much as you like (an entire watermelon will be 8x the recipe)!
To prep the watermelon, I sliced into the red flesh to form cubes before cutting them off the rind. Since I used a melon that had seeds, I removed the black and white ones with the back of a teaspoon.
I washed, peeled and diced a small cucumber and a small red onion. I washed and finely chopped the mint leaves and I cut the feta cheese into small cubes.
As for the dressing, it was pretty simple to make. I mixed together the honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a tiny bowl.
Combine
I added the prepped watermelon, cucumber, red onion, feta and mint leaves to a large bowl before pouring the dressing over everything.
All that’s left is to gently mix the ingredients to combine everything and allow the dressing to be distributed throughout. Gentle is key here since the watermelon cubes can turn into mushy juice if you overmix.
That’s pretty much it! You can serve immediately or store in the fridge to chill. The salad is best when it’s cold and can stay in the fridge for a day or so.
