INGREDIENTS

To make this refreshing easy watermelon salad recipe, you will need only a handful of ingredients, 15 minutes and absolutely no cooking.

Watermelon Feta Salad Ingredients

Watermelon – Use Seedless Watermelon to make the salad. This makes it really easy to make the salad, specially because there is not much of preparation involved like removing seeds which can be a lot tedious.

I hate biting into seeds while eating the salad, so I always remember to look for a seedless watermelon.

Cucumber – Long English Cucumber are delicious in this easy salad. You can add the slices of cucumber or add wedges of cucumber. I prefer to deseed the cucumber and add it to the salad many times, as they do not get soggy.

Onion – Red Onions add the perfect crunch in the salad. Slice the Onion thin and add them to the salad just before serving.

Mint Leaves or Basil Leaves – I love the addition of Mint in this watermelon salad. When I don’t have mint leaves handy, I add the basil! If I have both the herbs in plenty, I will add a bit of both. Adding fresh herbs light up the flavors of the easy watermelon salad.

Dressing made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil ( EVOO ), lemon Juice, salt & pepper.
