Watermelon salad with cucumber salad and feta

Here’s a refreshing Watermelon, Cucumber & Feta Salad perfect for hot summer days, BBQs, or a light side dish. It’s sweet, salty, tangy, and super easy to make.

🍉 Watermelon Cucumber Feta Salad

🥗 Ingredients:

• 4 cups watermelon, cubed or balled

• 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced or diced (English cucumber works well)

• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

• 2–3 tablespoons fresh mint or basil, chopped

• Juice of 1 lime or 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1–2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

• Optional: a drizzle of balsamic glaze

🥣 Instructions:

1. Prep the produce:
   Cut watermelon and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice red onion if using.

2. Mix:
   In a large bowl, gently toss together the watermelon, cucumber, onion, and herbs.

3. Dress it:
   Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

4. Add feta last:
   Gently fold in the crumbled feta so it doesn’t break up too much.

5. Chill or serve immediately:
   Tastes great right away, but you can refrigerate it for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld.

6. Optional garnish:
   Drizzle with balsamic glaze or honey just before serving for an extra flavor pop.

✅ Tips:

• For best texture, don’t overdress the salad or let it sit too long before serving.

• Want more crunch? Add toasted pine nuts or chopped pistachios.

• For a spicy twist, add a few slices of jalapeño or sprinkle with chili flakes.
