Ingredients and Variations
This watermelon salad recipe has endless options for sweet, savory, or tart ingredients! Watermelon – Use a seedless watermelon for quicker prep and cut the pieces into smaller bite-sized cubes. Pick a watermelon that’s heavy with a yellow spot. It should have a nice uniform shape and a hollow sound when you tap or knock it! Feta – Switch out feta crumbles for blue cheese or cotija crumbles. Dressing – This salad is fresh and flavorful on it’s own and so the dressing is really light and fresh. A small splash of lime juice. It’s juicy and sweet with watermelon and feta, but you can drizzle the salad instead with some balsamic vinegar or a tangy lemon vinaigrette. Variations – Color up this salad and include other fruits like cantaloupe or honeydew melons or even grilled pineapple! A handful of spicy arugula will bulk up the salad and complement the sweet watermelon and tangy feta cheese. Sliced or pickled red onions and cherry tomatoes with basil will make a more savory offering!
