Watermelon Feta Salad

This watermelon feta salad is the ultimate summer bowl — cold sweet watermelon against salty feta, torn mint, and a splash of lime. The contrast of juicy fruit and briny cheese is unexpectedly perfect, refreshing on the hottest day and elegant enough for a barbecue table. It takes fifteen minutes, needs no cooking, and looks as stunning as it tastes, especially finished with a drizzle of good olive oil and flaky salt.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 small watermelon, cubed
  • 150g feta, cubed
  • 1/2 cup torn mint leaves
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Flaky salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Chill the watermelon

    Keep the watermelon cold right up until serving — the colder the fruit, the better the contrast with the cheese.

  2. Assemble

    Arrange the watermelon and feta on a platter and scatter over the red onion.

  3. Dress lightly

    Whisk the lime juice and olive oil, and drizzle it over the top.

  4. Finish

    Add the torn mint, a pinch of flaky salt, and a crack of pepper. Serve immediately.

Finish it with a homemade lemon vinaigrette, or pair it with our Peach Burrata Salad for a bigger spread. New to building bowls from scratch? Start with our Best Salad Ingredients for Fresh, Healthy Meals guide.
