Cook: 0 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 6 cup watermelon (cubed)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves (torn)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup pistachios (roughly chopped (optional))

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, crumbled feta, torn mint leaves, and sliced red onion.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients.

Notes

For best flavor, chill the watermelon before cutting. You can prepare the dressing ahead of time, but add the mint just before serving to prevent wilting.
