Watermelon Salad Recipe Ingredients

The ingredients you need for this salad are simple! I’ll give you a few options for substitutions just in case you don’t have everything you need!

• Watermelon – Fresh, seedless is best
• Blueberries – Fresh
• Feta Cheese – Original. Either pre crumbled, or crumble yourself. I’m not a fan of blue cheese, but I think it would work
• Mint (Optional) – Fresh. Can substitute basil since they are in the same herb family.
• Lime Juice – Fresh if you have it. Use concentrate if needed.
• Olive Oil – Use canola or vegetable oil if you don’t have olive oil.
• Honey (optional) – If you want to keep this as a sugar-free salad dressing, leave the honey out. You can also use a teaspoon of sugar, be sure to whisk it until it’s dissolved.
• Salt and Pepper – I like sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Use what you have.

Watermelon Feta Salad Variations:

This is a fun salad to get creative with! Some people like to keep it simple and others like to add something extra to it! Make it just the way you like!

• Cucumbers – add fresh, diced cucumbers. They do add a pretty green color
• Jalapeno – If you want to take it up a notch add diced jalapenos (remove seeds and membranes of jalapenos to for a slightly milder flavor)
• Balsamic Vinegar – Use balsamic vinegar instead of lime juice. It will make the watermelon brown, so you might want to serve it on the side and let people drizzle it over the salad.

How to make Watermelon Salad

This salad is as easy as dicing up some watermelon and mixing it with blueberries! It really is simple and that’s my favorite kind of recipes!

LITTLE DAIRY ON THE PRAIRIE PRO TIP: To make this salad ahead of time assemble the salad without adding the dressing. Refrigerate. Make dressing and keep in a separate container. Just before serving toss the salad with dressing.

Watermelon Mint Salad

This salad is great served with Citrus Grilled Chicken, BBQ Chicken Drumsticks, and sandwiches like Italian Chicken Bacon Sandwiches or Dill Pickle Grilled Cheese!

It’s pairs well as a side dish served with Classic Potato Salad, KFC Copycat Coleslaw, and Smoked Baked Beans. Serve all of these sides with any Grilled or Smoked meat!

Summers are all about watermelon! They just go hand in hand and it doesn’t seem right to celebrate summer without watermelon!

Watermelon Lemonade is the BEST summer drink to sip on!
