Watermelon Feta Salad

I’m a huge fan of Watermelon Feta Salad, it’s a perfect warm weather delight! With summer in full swing this is the perfect salad recipe to cool you down and keep you nourished. I’m actually not a huge watermelon fan, but I personally love this recipe so much. My friend Sheri McShane from WhenTheKidsGoToBed.com shared this recipe with me and it’s incredible!

I love any kind of salad that can be made in mere minutes! I’m all about making sure I’m doing everything I can to stay eating healthy this summer, too. I love how this Watermelon Feta Salad gives you the healthy and hearty dish, but it’s also such a quick make. I know so many people out there looking for quick lunch options and this is it for YOU! This is even a great snack meal at night, too.

The best way to describe this recipe is sweet and salty, 2 tastes that I personally love! I love a good sweet taste, followed by a little saltiness. It just works beautifully for this Watermelon Feta Salad. All the ingredients marry together and really do create such a yummy salad. It’s also a pretty dish, too! If you’re looking for a salad to make for your guests coming over, this is one that will surely pop out because it just looks so good!

Watermelon Feta Salad Ingredients:

3 cups cubed seedless watermelon (try to make all the cubes around the same size)

1/2 cup feta (make sure it’s a good one)

3 tbsp of chopped mint or basil (try to get fresh)

juice of 1 lime

1/4 cup olive oil

salt and pepper (use as much as you prefer, suggestion – quick sprinkle)

How to make Watermelon Feta Salad

Are you ready to see how easy this recipe is to toss together? It literally is just like tossing together a few ingredients and going off! You can make this while you’re watching the morning news or while you’re chatting with the kids while they’re in the kitchen! I made this salad last week and my Victoria loved helping me put everything together. She’s a BIG watermelon fan, so she was all over this!

3 Steps for the Salad:

Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, and salt & pepper.

In large bowl toss together watermelon, feta, and herbs.

Coat with dressing and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

optional: drizzle with balsamic vinegar

Easy as can be, right? It really is just a refreshing salad that can be made in minutes! If you make this salad, let me know! Love to hear what you think about it! My husband had suggested adding in some grapefruit slices, too. If you’re someone who loves some summer fresh fruits, that wouldn’t be a bad idea. You can really have some fun adding in some yummy fruits and seeing what tastes work together the best.

Thank you to my friend Sheri for sharing this yummy dish with me! It’s delish and it’s a salad that we will be making all year long, not just in the summer. If you’re a watermelon fan you will be keen on keeping this recipe on hand too throughout the year. It’s AMAZING!
