Ingredients

Watermelon Salad

  • 6 cups seedless 1-inch cubes watermelon (from 5-lb watermelon)
  • 1 cup sliced quartered cucumber
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced and quartered
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz)

Dressing

  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  • 1-In small bowl, using wire whisk, mix vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Stir in mint.
    2-In large bowl, mix watermelon, cucumber, onion and 3/4 cup of the feta cheese.
    3-Pour dressing over watermelon mixture; toss gently to combine.
    4-Sprinkle salad with remaining feta cheese. Garnish servings with additional mint, if desired.

Notes

  • Try adding other additions to your salad, such as blueberries, strawberries or kalamata olives.
  • The salad can be chilled for up to 2 hours. The watermelon keeps releasing its juices so the longer it stands, the more liquid will gather in your bowl.
