Refreshing Watermelon Mint Salad

Today, I’m excited to share a light and refreshing summer recipe that’s perfect for those hot days when you want something cool and hydrating. This watermelon mint salad is a combination of sweet, juicy watermelon, aromatic mint, tangy feta cheese, and a zesty lime dressing. It’s a simple yet elegant dish that’s sure to impress your friends and family at your next summer gathering.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 medium watermelon, cubed (about 600g)
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp honey

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

To start, cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint leaves to the bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey to create the dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring that the salad is evenly coated.

The salad is best served chilled, so place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. When you’re ready to serve, give it a final toss and garnish with a few extra mint leaves for a pop of color.

This refreshing watermelon mint salad weighs approximately 800g once prepared, making about 6 servings. Each serving is around 133g, with an estimated calorie count of 120 per serving.

One tip to make this salad even more delicious is to sprinkle a little sea salt over the top just before serving. The salt helps to enhance the sweetness of the watermelon and balance out the flavors of the dish.

I hope you enjoy making and sharing this watermelon mint salad with your loved ones. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients or herbs to make it your own. Happy cooking!
