The key ingredients are watermelon and cucumber which has 90% water content and recommended for the summer season to beat the heat and humidity. Additionally, you can add onions, herbs of your choice. Mint leaves goes exceptionally well with watermelons.
Here I have added cilantro leaves, dill leaves, mint leaves. The mint leaves add refreshing flavor to the whole salad. Only mint leaves will be enough.
Even if you want to make your watermelon feta salad without cucumber and onions. Only watermelon, feta, mint will be enough for your salad. However, cucumber adds additional benefits in summers.
Seasoning For Watermelon Feta Salad
You need a mild salad dressing. Plain citrus-based dressing is just awesome. I’m using red wine vinegar. If you don’t have this vinegar then try with a tbsp of lemon juice along with olive oil, salt, and pepper. No other dressing required for this cooling summer salad.
Feta cheese gives it that creaminess. However, if you are vegan then take vegan feta cheese for this recipe.
Simple seasoning, healthy fruits and delicious taste in just 5 minutes. This is happiness for me (at least in summers).
