Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cup seedless watermelon, cut into bite-size cubes well-chilled if possible
  • 2 cup ripe tomatoes, chopped or wedged use mixed colors if available
  • 1 cup English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
  • 0.33 cup red onion, very thinly sliced quickly rinse under cold water to mellow
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 0.33 cup fresh mint and basil, chopped loosely packed; a mix is great
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh lime juice lemon works too
  • 1 tsp honey balances acidity
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt halve if using fine salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze optional, for drizzling

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Chill the watermelon and tomatoes so the salad is extra crisp.
  • Whisk olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Combine watermelon, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the dressing over the bowl and gently toss to coat.
  • Fold in feta, mint, and basil just until evenly dispersed.
  • Finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze, then serve right away.

Notes

Variation: Add thinly sliced jalapeño for gentle heat, or swap feta with fresh mozzarella pearls. For extra crunch, sprinkle toasted pistachios. Storage: This salad is best within 2 hours. If prepping ahead, keep dressing separate and toss just before serving.
