Hey loves!
Today, I’m sharing my all-time favorite summer salad! I absolutely love combining sweet, juicy watermelon with tangy feta cheese—it’s a perfect pairing. Add fresh mint, a squeeze of lime, and a touch of chili for a little kick if you love spice like I do! The lime enhances the sweetness of the watermelon, and the chili gives it that extra twist.
This salad is refreshing and super easy to make, so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the sun. The recipe below is for one serving, but it’s easy to double up and share at BBQs or picnics.
Ingredients:
• Fresh watermelon, cubed
• Feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
• Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• Lime juice (to taste)
• Fresh chili or chili flakes (optional, for spice)
• Extra virgin olive oil
Execution Method:
1. In a bowl, combine the cubed watermelon and feta.
2. Add the chopped fresh mint leaves.
3. Add chili for a spicy kick if you like.
4. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil to taste.
5. Gently toss everything together.
Extra Tips:
• For maximum flavor, slap the fresh mint leaves in your hands before chopping—this helps release the aroma.
• Roll the lime firmly on the cutting board before slicing to get the most juice and aroma out.
Serve and enjoy! 😊
