Skinny Watermelon Feta Salad
Description
This salad combines fresh cubed, seeded watermelon with crumbled feta cheese. A dressing made from olive oil and lime juice is whisked and poured over the salad, which is finished with julienned fresh mint. The watermelon provides a refreshing, juicy base, while the feta adds a salty contrast. The lime and olive oil dressing contributes acidity and fruitiness, and the mint adds a fresh aromatic note.
The dish is light and clean tasting, ideal for warm days or as a palate-cleansing side. The texture contrast between the crisp watermelon and creamy cheese is notable.
Because watermelon releases water over time when cut, this salad does not keep well once dressed. It should be mixed shortly before serving to preserve its texture and prevent watery dilution.
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon cubed, seeded
- ½ cup feta cheese fat free
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ lime juiced
- ¼ cup mint julienned
Instructions
- Add first two ingredients to bowl.
- Put olive oil and lime juice in a small bowl and whisk well.
- Pour over salad and top with mint. Toss gently. This needs to be made right before serving. It doesn't sit well in fridge bc the watermelon lets off a lot of water.
Notes
- Prepare the salad immediately before serving to maintain watermelon texture.
- Use ripe, seeded watermelon cubed evenly for best consistency.
