Watermelon And Feta Salad

Watermelon feta salad
Watermelon feta salad

Watermelon and feta salad is one of the most refreshing summer combos. It combines sweet, fruity, slightly bitter and salty together. It is the best salad of all time if you ask me. Have you tried it yet? If not, please do give this beautiful summer salad a try. Perfect for this glorious weather.

How to make watermelon and feta salad?

It is a quick and super simple salad to make. I have chosen to cube the watermelon and scoop the melon, I have added the de-skinned grapefruit and crumbled some feta cheese in and some more over at the end and voila! Salad is ready. It only takes 20 minutes at most.

We had some friends for a BBQ which was great after so many weeks of being so unsocial, so, our garden was our oyster. We clearly made some nice grilled chicken and pork and I have made a couple of other side salads to enjoy. Made this watermelon and feta as a dessert and the kids had it as it is but for us the adults, of course, we couldn't help ourselves but give it a little drizzle of grapefruit vodka. It was only a little, I promise ;-). It worked a treat, very nice indeed.

What to serve with watermelon and feta salad?

This watermelon salad is definitely the perfect summer side dish to go along with any grilled chicken, any steak, or even with a super beautiful burger.

Variations

Feel free to throw in some fresh herbs other than mint. I have also made this watermelon salad with fresh thyme or basil, added some freshly sliced red onion, cucumber and olives. Wow, it is really delicious! You may also add a pretty simple vinaigrette made of just walnut oil, balsamic vinegar and freshly ground black pepper. You may also add arugula leaves to it. Make it your own but do keep the main ingredient which is the watermelon and feta!

You may choose any melon you may have or like when making this refreshing summer salad.

Want this watermelon salad a vegan version?

It is very simple, replace the feta cheese with a vegan feta cheese and the honey with maple syrup.

FAQs

  • Do I need to keep this salad refrigerated? Yes. Keep it in the fridge until serving
  • How long in advance can I make it? I don't recommend you make this salad for more than one hour before serving;
  • What do I do with leftovers? Ideally is to consume it freshly made but you may refrigerate it for later;
  • Can I make the leftover into a smoothie? Yes, ideally do not add the feta but only to the amount you consume;
  • Can I freeze it? Yes but only if you wish to make a smoothie later in which case do not add the feta if you intend to make it a smoothie or even think it may have leftovers.

  • salmon salad
  • potato salad
  • orzo and halloumi salad

Let's get going with this beautifully delicious and so refreshing summer salad.

    Watermelon and feta is such a classic combo! Hadn’t thought to include grapefruit. Also love the idea of maybe adding red onion, cucumber and olives.

    This is the perfect dish for the scorching hot days when you want to eat outside, but everything needs to be refreshing to be comfortable! We always get a huge watermelon and then get a bit bored of just eating it as it is - what a lovely way to make it even more delicious!

    Having lived for 7 years in Dubai, Watermelon Feta Salad has become one of my faves. I love your little melon balls and the surprising addition of different melons and grapefruit.

      That is so true, thank you Renu. I am so glad you like my watermelon and feta salad. I would not mind it every day either. In fact we had it three times this week already which makes it almost every day and alternated the cheese with some blue cheese and mozzarella 😉

    I also love to use the leftovers in a smoothie (and just serving feta on what we eat). So delicious. The grapefruit sounds like a wonderful slightly bitter addition, yum!
