WATERMELON SALAD WITH FETA, MINT AND CUCUMBER
HELLO BBS!! Today I bring you this ultra summery Watermelon Salad With Feta, Mint And Cucumber! I love this dish because it’s technically a salad without being a salad (…I hate salads). It’s healthy, juicy, easy to make, and it looks super fancy so it’s perfect for bbqs and parties too!
The only mild “annoyance” is cutting the watermelon and cucumber into cubes *but* if you don’t care for looks, you can cut them into any shape and that will ll save you tons of time!!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS EASY WATERMELON SALAD
It’s *so* fun to eat! The watermelon is sweet and juicy and goes perfectly with the saltiness of feta cheese (use sheep milk feta for this salad!). The cucumber is nice and crunchy and adds color and texture to the dish while the tangy lime dressing wraps everything together adding a touch of shine, flavor, and extra fun to this summer salad!
Mint is optional but I really love how refreshing it tastes so if you like mint, I totally recommend adding it to your salad! If you’re a fan of onions, you can also add a few (thin) slices of red onion to it (delish!!).
A TIP FOR SUCCESS
Make this salad right before serving! You don’t want it to sit for hours in a bowl as the watermelon and cucumber will get super watery! For the same reason, try not to have leftovers because you definitely don’t want to store this dish.
I hope you’ll love this summery watermelon salad with feta mint and cucumber as much as I do!
