Print Recipe

A crisp, juicy, and refreshing summer salad combining sweet watermelon, crunchy cucumber, salty feta, and fresh mint for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups watermelon, cubed (seedless preferred)
  • 2 large cucumbers, peeled and diced (English cucumbers recommended)
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut about 3 cups of seedless watermelon into roughly 1-inch cubes.
  2. Peel and dice 2 large cucumbers into similar-sized chunks.
  3. Crumble 1 cup of feta cheese gently with a fork to keep some chunks intact.
  4. Chop 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves finely.
  5. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until emulsified.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the watermelon, cucumber, and crumbled feta.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and sprinkle the chopped mint on top.
  8. Toss everything gently using salad tongs or large spoons to avoid breaking up the watermelon cubes.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  10. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use seedless watermelon and English cucumbers for best texture. Toss gently to avoid crushing watermelon. Add feta and mint just before serving to keep freshness. Chill salad for at least 15 minutes to meld flavors. For vegan option, substitute feta with marinated tofu or nut-based vegan cheese.
