Ingredients
- 3 cups Watermelon, cubed
- 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 small Onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- Fresh mint, a small handful
Vinaigrette
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
Vinaigrette
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Salad
- In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, sliced cucumber, and onions.
- Drizzle over the dressing.
- Top with feta cheese and fresh mint.
- Chill the salad for at least 1 hour and serve cold. Enjoy!
Notes
- Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for an hour. It makes the salad more flavorful.
- I love the sharpness and crunch of raw onions. If you don’t like the punch, marinate them in red vinegar or soak them in cold water for 5 minutes.
- Be careful not to add too much salt to your dressing, as the feta is salty. You can always add more later.
- If your watermelon is not sweet enough, add a drizzle of honey to the salad.
