Watermelon Feta Salad Recipe
Description
The Watermelon Feta Salad Recipe features large watermelon balls prepared with a melon baller, combined with fresh baby arugula and sizeable crumbled feta chunks. The salad layers watermelon and greens with feta in a large shallow bowl, topped with chopped spearmint leaves to enhance freshness. The watermelon provides juicy sweetness, the feta adds creaminess and saltiness, and the arugula contributes a peppery crunch.
This salad is served chilled, making it a cooling accompaniment ideal for warm weather or as a vibrant starter to a meal. Draining excess juice shortly before serving helps maintain texture and prevents sogginess. The combination of melon, cheese, and mint makes this salad stand out with contrasting flavors and a variety of textures.
Ingredients
- 9 cups watermelon (cut in large circles with a melon baller)
- 2 arugula loose cups, baby
- 8 to 10 spearmint leaves chopped, fresh
- 8 ounce feta cheese crumbled in large chunks, package
Instructions
- Using a melon baller, prepare the melon into large balls. Set aside in a bowl until ready to serve.
- About 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve, drain the liquid from the bowl (I poured it into a cup and drank it!).
- Scatter half of the watermelon into a large, shallow serving bowl and scatter half of the arugula and feta on top, repeat with the remaining watermelon, arugula and feta then top everything with fresh mint.
