Summer Delight: Watermelon Feta Salad Recipe with a Twist!

Refreshing Watermelon Feta Salad

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and refreshing summer recipe that’s perfect for those hot days when you’re craving something light and flavorful. This watermelon feta salad is a delicious combination of sweet and savory, with a hint of tanginess that will leave you wanting more.

Ingredients:

• 1 small seedless watermelon, cubed (600g)
• 200g feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• cutting board
• knife
• mixing bowl
• whisk

Start by cubing the watermelon and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Add the crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint leaves, sliced black olives, and thinly sliced red onion. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well combined.

The contrast of the juicy watermelon with the salty feta cheese and tangy balsamic dressing creates a burst of flavors in every bite. The addition of fresh mint leaves adds a refreshing herbal note, while the black olives and red onion provide a savory crunch that ties everything together perfectly.

Once the salad is thoroughly mixed, cover it and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad is best served chilled, making it an ideal dish for a summer picnic or barbecue.

For an extra burst of flavor, try sprinkling some crumbled crispy prosciutto on top of the salad just before serving. The salty and crunchy prosciutto adds a delicious twist to this already delightful dish.
