Elevate your summer dining experience with the harmonious combination of sweet and savory in our Watermelon Feta Salad. Start by cubing juicy watermelon into bite-sized pieces, creating a refreshing and hydrating base for the salad.
Introduce creamy feta cheese, crumbled generously over the watermelon. The salty and tangy notes of the feta create a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the watermelon, offering a perfect balance of flavors.
Enhance the salad’s texture with the addition of crisp cucumber slices. The cucumber adds a refreshing crunch and complements the overall lightness of the dish, making it an ideal choice for warm summer days.
Include pitted Kalamata olives for a burst of briny flavor and a touch of Mediterranean flair. The olives contribute a savory element that pairs harmoniously with the sweet watermelon and salty feta.
Sprinkle fresh mint leaves for a burst of herbaceous aroma and a hint of coolness. The mint elevates the salad, providing a refreshing and vibrant quality that enhances the overall dining experience.
Create a simple dressing using extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a dash of honey or agave syrup. The dressing ties all the ingredients together, adding a subtle sweetness and acidity that enhances the flavor profile.
Gently toss the ingredients to ensure an even coating of the dressing. The result is a visually stunning Watermelon Feta Salad that embodies the epitome of summer flavors. Serve it as a refreshing side dish for barbecues, picnics, or any summer gathering, or enjoy it as a light and wholesome meal on its own.
Immerse yourself in the delightful combination of juicy watermelon, creamy feta, crisp cucumber, briny olives, and fresh herbs. This salad promises a burst of flavors and a culinary journey that captures the essence of summer in every delectable bite.

I made this twice exactly the way the recipe suggests - it was delicious! One small difference the 2nd time around was using a finer salt which balanced out all the flavors a little more. My wife and I both liked the 2nd version better.
Delicious, easy and refreshing
I've made this twice so far, using a good quality regular balsamic vinegar (that's all I had) and chopped romaine lettuce. Delicious. Note that if not using arugla, which doesn't wilt as quickly as a lettuce, make sure you add the lettuce just before serving or you'll end up with a mushy salad like I did the first time I made it. Tasted great, just didn't look very appealing. Excellent recipe!
Very good refreshing and filling salad. Like other reviewers I used a bag of spring mix greens instead of arugula and crumbled feta. Also, I couldn't find "white" balsamic vinegar so I used "DeLallo Golden Balsamic Style Vinegar". I thought the dressing was a little bland so the next time I will add more vinegar and maybe add some diced cukes or zucchini and kalamata olives..
Delicious salad! Followed the recipe but used champagne vinegar instead of white balsamic vinegar. It was a big hit for my Sunday night family dinner! This will be a staple for now on!
I had a small amount of a yellow pepper that I needed to use up and spinach instead of arugula. Taking it to a potluck so we will see how it goes over. Smells really good though
We tried this an it is a very refreshing summer salad and very tasty. Would recommend it if you are looking for a different summer salad!
Very refreshing on a hot summer afternoon. the red onion adds a welcome slight tang balanced by the sweetness of the feta and watermelon. Only slight changes made was used central market baby spring mix (instead of all arugala), and didn't have white basalmic, so I riffed and used some Sprouts brand regular red balsamic and mixed in some Pompeian white white wine vinegar. Pretty sure my Doc would approve of this as part of a legit "Mediterranean" diet meal.
I've made this before but instead of feta cheese I used halloumi cheese. U slice it and pan fry it to brown. It doesn't melt. Serve it warm on the salad and watermelon. Nice contrast. Also added fresh mint leaves which is great with watermelon. It will get watered down if it sits, so eat as much as u can.
