My Watermelon & Feta Salad is colourful, healthy and the perfect addition to any summertime meal!
Cubes of juicy watermelon tossed with salty feta, fresh mint & basil… the ultimate summer salad!
Watermelon is light with that undeniable refreshing crunch that truly screams summer time! I love to take advantage of this delicious fruit while it is in season and incorporate it into as many recipes as I can. Watermelon Salad is one of my favourite ways to do that because it tastes AMAZING… obviously 😉 It is also so simple to make, and I mean extremely simple! What more could you want!
The juicy, sweet flavour of the watermelon flawlessly compliments the salty feta and the fresh mint & basil really takes this salad to the next level! These simple flavours work perfectly together that there is no need to whip up a salad dressing… how great and low-maintenance is that!?
Eat it on its own, or over a bed of fresh greens and you have the ultimate summer salad in less than 10 minutes! So let’s get to making my Refreshing Watermelon & Feta Salad with Mint & Basil!
My Tips for Creating the Best Watermelon Salad
This salad comes together best when the watermelon is chilled, straight from the refrigerator.
If possible, try to use seedless watermelon! It is more pleasant to eat and you won’t have to worry about removing any unwanted seeds during preparation.
I recommend using block feta. It is much more stable and contrasts perfectly with the fresh and juicy watermelon! You will also have the ability to gently crumble it to the desired size you like best!
If you plan on making this summer salad ahead of time, be sure to only store it in the refrigerator for a maximum of a few hours, as the watermelon will release its juices and become too soft if you leave it for too long.

Ingredients:

Roughly chop the fresh mint and basil and add them into the bowl with the watermelon and feta.
Gently toss and your Refreshing Watermelon & Feta Salad with Mint & Basil is ready to eat!
