refreshing watermelon mint salad
May 3, 2013 § 19 Comments
I found some nice-looking watermelons at the market yesterday. I realize it is not quite watermelon season here in the Pacific Northwest, nevertheless, once I saw them I decided to pick one up. We were not disappointed at all because it was bright red, juicy and sweet. It is the season for mint. I have been using mint quite a bit because I have it growing as weeds around the side of my house. Here is a recipe for a refreshing fruit salad. I had this salad at a dinner party several months ago. I loved the simplicity of it and minimal list of only three ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 medium size watermelon, cut in bite size shapes
- large handful of mint, finely chopped
- 3-4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- sprinkling of salt
Method
Combine all ingredients in a serving bowl. Simple.
Serves 4
buon appetite!

i can’t think of anything more refreshing than watermelon and mint. great combo!
Isn’t it? I love it. I think I may even press some through the juicer for a nice drink. (of course I’ll leave the feta out) :)
Delicious!
Yes! Thank you…
I love this salad. Watermelon and mint are the best combination and salty feta is a perfect addition.
Yes! I agree. Easiest fruit salad to prepare and quite impressive! :)
I haven’t seen watermelon in our market yet. What a nice sounding salad.
I know…it’s a little early here too. Most likely came from Mexico. It was delicious! Hopefully when you have them available you’ll remember to try this. :)
Combination of feta&watermelon&mint is so calling for summer, love that!
I agree. We are finally having a warm day here in Seattle today! :)
I once have this on a first class flight before…
really great and refreshing salad!
they served with 4 diffrent color water melon,red, purple and yellow and orange colored

nice. I have never seen purple watermelon! You enjoy your weekend as well!
I love these flavor combinations — such a light, refreshing salad, especially during warmer months (which we hope to see in Minnesota again some day)!
We are finally getting a few warm day ourselves over here in the Pacific Northwest. However, we never have them as cold as you do! Wishing you warm days….soon!
I bet that the feta cheese and mint go very nicely with the watermelon. I enjoyed the pictures as well!
Wow, what a brilliant combination of flavours! This salad sounds so deliciously refreshing! And I have all the ingredients already on hand, which is always a bonus :) – Niki x
