Refreshing Cucumber Watermelon Salad Recipe

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a delightful summer dish that always brings back memories of backyard BBQs and picnics. This refreshing cucumber watermelon salad is the perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors, with a hint of mint to keep things cool.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced
  • 2 cups of diced watermelon
  • 100g of crumbled feta cheese
  • Handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • spoon

Start by slicing the cucumber into thin rounds and dicing the watermelon into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, watermelon, and crumbled feta cheese. Add in the chopped mint leaves for a burst of freshness.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a simple vinaigrette. Drizzle this over the salad and gently toss everything together to ensure that all the flavors are well mixed.

Finally, give the salad a taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference. You can sprinkle some extra mint leaves on top for a beautiful presentation.

The total weight of the finished cucumber watermelon salad is approximately 500g. This recipe yields 4 servings, with each portion weighing around 125g. One serving of this salad contains approximately 120 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to chill the watermelon in the fridge before combining it with the other ingredients. This will give the salad an extra refreshing and crisp texture that is perfect for those hot summer days.

I hope you enjoy making and sharing this cucumber watermelon salad with your loved ones. Feel free to get creative with additional toppings or dressings to make it your own. Happy cooking!
