Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
-
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
6 heaping cups cubed watermelon
-
1 English cucumber (cut in fourths, and sliced – about 2 cups)
-
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
-
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chopped mint, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
-
Add the cubed watermelon, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion to the bowl. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients with the dressing.
-
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad. Gently toss again to mix without breaking the feta pieces.
-
Serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh mint if desired.
Notes
-
For best results, serve the salad fresh. If preparing ahead, store the dressing separately and toss just before serving.
-
Fresh mint adds brightness, but you can substitute fresh basil for a different twist.
-
Red onions can be soaked in cold water for 10 minutes before adding to reduce sharpness.
