Watermelon and Mint Salad
This Watermelon Feta Mint Salad is unlike any you've had before, thanks to a boost of flavor from citrus juice and zest, and lots of seasoning. Plus, the ratio of watermelon to feta is sure to please cheese lovers!
Ingredients
- Zest of half a lemon
- Juice of half a lemon
- Zest of half an orange
- Juice of half an orange
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound watermelon cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 ounces feta cheese cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- In large bowl, whisk lemon zest and juice, orange zest and juice, oil, salt and pepper until well combined.
- Add watermelon, cheese and mint and gently toss until well combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 3 days.
Notes
- If you’re in a time crunch, buy the pre-chopped watermelon from the store. I won’t tell anybody!
- Be sure to zest half of the lemon and half of the orange BEFORE you juice them. If you try to do it in the other order, it’ll be very difficult.
- Because there are so few ingredients in this salad, you’ll want to use good quality olive oil and a very fresh lemon and orange.
