Recipe Tips

  • Use cold watermelon: Make sure your watermelon is chilled before preparing for a refreshing taste.
  • Pick fresh mint: Fresh mint leaves add a burst of flavor—avoid using dried mint for the best taste.
  • Cut watermelon into even chunks: This helps ensure each bite has the perfect ratio of watermelon, feta, and mint.
  • Add olive oil sparingly: Drizzle just a little olive oil to enhance the flavor without overpowering the freshness of the salad.
  • Let it sit for a few minutes: Allow the salad to sit for 5-10 minutes after mixing to let the flavors meld together.

How To Store Leftovers?

Store any leftover watermelon salad in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days. Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
