Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups watermelon cubed, chilled
  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint or basil chopped
For Dressing
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional but recommended
  • Pinch of salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the watermelon

    Cut watermelon into bite-sized cubes and chill if not already cold.

  2. Add toppings

    Place watermelon in a large bowl. Add crumbled feta and chopped herbs.

  3. Make the dressing

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  4. Combine everything

    Drizzle dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine without breaking the watermelon.

  5. Chill and serve

    Serve immediately or chill for 15–20 minutes for a more refreshing taste.

Notes

  • Use cold watermelon. It makes a bigger difference than you think.
  • Don’t overload feta. Too much can overpower the salad quickly.
  • Toss gently. Watermelon breaks easily and turns messy if you mix aggressively.
  • Add herbs at the end for a fresher taste.
