Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by cutting your watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Measure out 2 cups (310g) of cubed watermelon and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Crumble 1/4 cup (36g) of feta cheese over the watermelon cubes in the bowl. It’s okay if some pieces are bigger than others; the variety adds to the texture of the salad.
- Finely chop 1 tablespoon (6g) of fresh spearmint leaves. Sprinkle the chopped mint over the watermelon and feta mixture.
- Gently toss the watermelon, feta, and mint together to ensure an even distribution of ingredients. Be careful not to crush the watermelon cubes or feta cheese.
- For a refreshing experience, you can cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This step is optional but highly recommended on a hot day!
- Once ready, serve the salad immediately. You can transfer it to a serving platter or individual bowls.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe, seedless watermelon for the best flavor and ease of preparation.
- Chill the watermelon in the refrigerator before cutting to keep the salad cool and refreshing.
- You can add a splash of lime juice for an extra zesty twist.
- For added texture, consider adding a handful of toasted almonds or walnuts.
- Serve the salad immediately for the best taste and texture, as the watermelon can release moisture over time.
This Watermelon, Feta, and Mint Salad is a delightful combination of flavors and textures that is sure to impress your guests. It's simple to make, yet incredibly satisfying. Enjoy this refreshing and nutritious salad during the warm summer months or anytime you're craving a light and tasty dish.
