Savor Summer: Grilled Watermelon Feta Salad Recipe

Refreshing Summer Salad with Grilled Watermelon and Feta

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and delicious summer dish that combines unexpected flavors and textures. This refreshing salad with grilled watermelon and feta is perfect for hot days when you’re craving something light and flavorful.

Ingredients:

• 1 small watermelon (sliced)
• 200g feta cheese
• 100g arugula
• 50g pine nuts
• Handful of fresh mint leaves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• grill pan
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• whisk

Start by heating a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the watermelon slices on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear.

In a mixing bowl, combine the arugula, crumbled feta cheese, pine nuts, and torn mint leaves. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together gently to combine.

Once the watermelon is grilled, cut it into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad mixture. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top and give everything a final toss to evenly coat all the ingredients.

Serve the salad immediately, allowing the flavors to meld together. The sweetness of the grilled watermelon, the tanginess of the feta cheese, and the freshness of the mint create a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.

This salad weighs approximately 800g once prepared. It serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 200g. Each serving is approximately 250 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to chill the watermelon before grilling. This helps it retain its shape and texture on the grill, giving the salad a nice contrast of temperatures.

I encourage you to try this unique summer salad with grilled watermelon and feta. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients and make it your own! Enjoy this refreshing and flavorful dish on a warm summer day.
