Instructions

In a large bowl, toss together the watermelon, cucumber, red onion, and mint.

In a small measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until well combined: olive oil, vinegar, and black pepper.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle the feta over top and serve with balsamic glaze + additional mint and feta as desired. ENJOY!

Notes

If you’re making this in advance, I suggest leaving the feta off until ready to serve. If you want it super fresh, you can also wait to toss the dressing on until right before eating.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Your Ingredients First 🧊
Refrigerate the watermelon, feta, and serving bowl for at least 30 minutes before assembly to keep the salad crisp and refreshing, preventing the feta from softening too quickly.
Salt the Watermelon Strategically 🍉
Lightly season the watermelon cubes with salt just before serving—this enhances the natural sweetness and creates a perfect flavor contrast with the salty feta without making the salad soggy.
Balance Your Dressing Ratio 🫗
Use a 3:1 ratio of olive oil to red wine vinegar with a drizzle of balsamic glaze to avoid over-acidifying the delicate watermelon; dress lightly and toss gently just before serving.
Tear Rather Than Crumble Feta 🧀
Hand-tear the feta into larger, irregular pieces instead of crumbling to create better texture contrast and prevent it from becoming too fine and dusty throughout the salad.
Add Mint at the Very End 🌿
Tear fresh mint leaves and fold them in just moments before serving to preserve their vibrant aroma and prevent them from bruising, oxidizing, or becoming bitter.
