Today’s Recipe: Sweet and Savory Watermelon Salad

As the summer heat starts to kick in, I always crave light and refreshing dishes that are bursting with flavor. That’s why today, I’m excited to share my unique recipe for a Sweet and Savory Watermelon Salad. This dish combines the juicy sweetness of watermelon with savory elements for a mouthwatering experience that will leave you wanting more.

I start by gathering my ingredients. For this salad, you’ll need 500g of watermelon, cubed, 100g of feta cheese, crumbled, a handful of mint leaves, chopped, 50g of black olives, sliced, 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze, and a drizzle of honey to finish it off.

I start by cubing the watermelon into bite-sized pieces and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Next, I crumble the feta cheese over the watermelon, followed by the sliced black olives and chopped mint leaves. I gently toss everything together with a spatula to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

In a small bowl, I mix the balsamic glaze with a drizzle of honey to create a sweet and tangy dressing. I then pour the dressing over the watermelon salad and give it one final toss to coat everything in the delicious flavors.

The Sweet and Savory Watermelon Salad is now ready to be served. The combination of sweet watermelon, salty feta cheese, earthy olives, and fresh mint creates a flavor explosion in every bite. The balsamic glaze dressing ties everything together beautifully, adding a touch of acidity to balance out the sweetness of the fruit.

With a total weight of 750g, this salad serves 4 people, with each serving weighing approximately 187g. One serving of this salad is around 150 calories, making it a light and guilt-free option for those hot summer days.

A clever tip to make this salad even more refreshing is to chill the watermelon in the refrigerator before serving. The cold fruit adds an extra element of coolness to the dish, making it even more perfect for a scorching summer day.

I hope you give this Sweet and Savory Watermelon Salad a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients or add a protein of your choice to make it a complete meal. Happy cooking!
