What is more refreshing on a hot summer day than Watermelon?  There are several reasons why summer is my favorite season, but I think summer food is at the top of the list.

Are you looking for a little twist to your summertime fruit salad? Instead of offering watermelon wedges at your next cookout, branch out with this sweet and savory side dish and make this Watermelon Feta Salad with Mint.

This colorful salad makes a great addition to any summer cookout. The hardest part is cutting that giant watermelon. I have purchased this watermelon cutter which makes this process a lot easier.

Why You Will Like This Watermelon Salad

Quick and Easy: The recipe takes minutes to throw together, and it’s incredibly refreshing. Try it once, and—if you’re anything like me—you’ll have it on repeat for the rest of watermelon season.

Perfect Combination of Flavors: Juicy cubed watermelon pairs beautifully with sweet blueberries, fresh herbs, and, of course, feta cheese. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

Ingredients needed

Please note that a full list of ingredients and a printable version of this recipe is available below.

• Watermelon – The star of this salad. You can use 1 small watermelon or 1/2 a large watermelon. You’ll need to peel and cut the watermelon into cubes.
• Lime or lemon – Use what you have on hand, don’t use lemon concentrate though. It must be freshly squeezed.
• Feta Cheese –  for a creamy, tangy element
• Mint leaves – I love the taste of fresh mint leaves. It brings in a new, refreshing flavor. Don’t skip the mint.
• Blueberries – Add not only color but a nice sweetness and texture.

Smart Recipe Tips

If you have a Feta Cheese that you love, use it. The feta cheese in the recipe will make all the difference in taste. If you choose one that is known to be dry and tangy, expect that to show up in this salad. Want a creamy-tasting salad? Look for feta cheese made from Greek sheep’s milk. Local or domestic cow’s milk feta tends to be tangy in taste. 

Some great additions to this salad: thinly sliced red onion, chopped arugula, or diced cucumber.

To Make-Ahead: If you need to make this watermelon salad ahead of time, you can peel and cube the watermelon and cucumber and prepare the remaining ingredients, then store each in the fridge in separate containers. Add the dressing and mix the salad just a few minutes before serving.  

How to Make Watermelon Salad

STEP ONE: Place watermelon chunks in a large bowl. Add freshly squeezed lime juice.

STEP TWO: Next, add chopped mint, blueberries and feta cheese. Toss until the watermelon is evenly dressed. Optionally, you can season lightly to taste with salt and pepper. Be careful, as feta is naturally salty.

STEP THREE: Toss until incorporated. You can transfer it to a nice serving bowl. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
