Joanna Gaines Watermelon Feta Salad Recipe
Are you looking for a fresh summer treat? The Joanna Gaines Watermelon Feta Salad Recipe is perfect for you. It is light, sweet, and very salty.
Equipment
- Large Chef Knife
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Small Mason Jar
- Serving platter
Ingredients
- 6 Cups Watermelon
- 1/2 Cup Feta Cheese
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Mint
- 1 Cup Cucumber
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 Tsp Honey
- 1/2 Tsp Sea Salt
Instructions
- Cut your watermelon into small even cubes. Remove the green rind and all black seeds. Place the red cubes into your large bowl.
- Slice your fresh cucumber into thin half-moons. Add them to the bowl with the watermelon. These two fruits are the main crunchy base.
- Whisk the lime juice and olive oil. Mix them in a small jar with honey. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the melon and cucumber. Toss the fruit very gently with clean hands. Do not bruise the watermelon pieces at all.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on the top. Add the fresh mint leaves right before serving. This keeps the herbs from turning dark brown.
Notes
- Use a very cold watermelon for the best refreshing taste.
- Add the feta cheese only right before you eat it.
- Tear the mint by hand to release more fresh oils.
- Do not over-mix the salad or it will get soggy.
- Pick a heavy watermelon for the sweetest and juiciest flavor.
