Juicy Watermelon Salad
Is there a better summer salad than watermelon feta salad? I think not. The taste of this salad is so refreshing with the combination of sweet, savory, and crunchy. I’m envisioning a big side of this served at a bbq or picnic and everyone going back for seconds because it’s just that good.
What is in watermelon salad?
This classic watermelon salad is made with fresh ingredients. Here’s what you need:
seedless watermelon – make sure to use a fresh, juicy watermelon. Then, slice it into bite-sized cubes. cucumbers: cucumbers add a veggie and crunch. red onion – a little bit of red onion goes a long way! fresh herbs: whatever you do, do not forget the fresh basil leave and fresh mint leaves! feta cheese: feta cheese adds a nice saltiness to this recipe, plus a decent amount of protein! pine nuts: toasted pine nuts for a little crunch.
Simple Vinaigrette
Every salad deserves a dressing! Here’s what you need for our simple vinaigrette:
red wine vinegar lemon juice extra virgin olive oil salt and black epper
Variations/Swaps
Add another fruit: add in another fruit such as blueberries, peaches, or apples. Add another veggie: add another veggie such as diced tomato or avocado chunks. Swap lemon for lime: instead of using lemon juice, try using lime juice! Add a green: adding something like arugula would take this up a notch!
