# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 cups cubed watermelon
02 -
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
03 -
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
04 -
½ cup chopped fresh mint
→ Seasonings & Spices
05 -
Salt
06 -
Black pepper
→ Garnish & Toppings
07 -
Extra fresh mint leaves
→ Optional Extras
08 -
½ cup diced cucumber
09 -
¼ cup pitted and halved black olives
10 -
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
11 -
2 tbsp olive oil
12 -
Honey (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Cube the watermelon into roughly equal-sized pieces. I always use a sharp knife and try to make them uniform!
02 -
In a large bowl, gently combine the watermelon, feta, red onion, mint, cucumber (optional), and olives (optional). Toss gently to avoid smashing the watermelon!
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Sometimes I add a touch of honey for sweetness.
04 -
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Isn't it pretty?
05 -
For extra freshness, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes. I often skip this step and eat it right away!
06 -
Garnish with extra mint and serve immediately. Sometimes I add extra feta for that salty kick!
# Notes:
01 -
A sharp knife makes cubing the watermelon so much easier!
02 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days (but it's best fresh!).
03 -
Apple cider vinegar can be substituted for red wine vinegar.
04 -
Serve with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
