Summer Watermelon Salad Recipe

Our delicious and refreshing summer watermelon salad recipe with mint and feta cheese is a perfect pick-me-up during the dog days of summer.

Cubes of sweet juicy watermelon are combined with crumbled salty feta cheese, fresh mint, coriander, and arugula leaves, and mixed salad greens, and then drizzled with a homemade dressing of olive oil and lime juice with a twist (thanks to soy sauce and sesame oil). Roasted peanuts add a crunchy element and contrasting texture, imparting a bit of bite to this awesome summer watermelon salad. The feta also adds a lovely creaminess.

The saltiness of feta cheese is a perfect complement to the cool sweetness of the watermelon. This classic sweet–salty flavour combination captures the essence of a summer salad recipe like few other salads.

Fresh mint and coriander along with the other salad greens make this the best summer watermelon salad, really brightening up the flavours of the other ingredients and lifting the sweetness of the watermelon.

Watermelon Salad Instructions and Tips:

Making this colourful, healthy, fuss-free fresh watermelon salad is easy and quick. You don’t need any fancy ingredients. Just make sure that your ingredients are fresh and of good quality.

This easy watermelon summer salad can be enjoyed as a starter, snack, or even a light meal.

You can make it ahead of time and then chill it in the refrigerator, but it’s best made just prior to serving, to maintain the crispness of the greens and the other ingredients.

For the best watermelon salad, use seedless watermelon or remove all seeds as you prep the fruit. If you enjoy biting into the seeds, and think it adds an interesting element, then keep the seeds.

You want a cool, refreshing, and hydrating salad recipe for a hot summer day, so chill the watermelon before you begin prepping.

It’s best to use goat or sheep’s-milk feta that is available in big blocks or chunks. Block feta is a much better choice than pre-crumbled feta.
