Watermelon Cucumber Salad

Print Recipe

A refreshing summer salad combining sweet watermelon and crunchy cucumbers, topped with feta and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 mini watermelon (about 4 cups, rind removed and cubed)
  • 2 Persian cucumbers (about 1 cup, sliced)
  • 3 ounces feta cheese (cubed)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mint
  • 1 tablespoon chopped basil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil to taste

Instructions

  1. Cube the watermelon by cutting it in half, slicing each half into smaller wedges, removing the rind, and cutting the flesh into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Slice the Persian cucumbers thinly—about ¼ inch thick.
  3. Cut the feta cheese into cubes and toss it into a large mixing bowl with the watermelon and cucumbers.
  4. Chop your mint and basil, then sprinkle them over the salad mixture.
  5. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salad, followed by a drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Gently toss all the ingredients together until nicely combined, keeping the watermelon cubes intact.

Notes

For added flavor, try crumbling the feta instead of cubing it. This salad can be made ahead but add herbs and dressing just before serving for freshness.
