Watermelon Feta Salad

Need a simple supplement for Memorial Day weekend, that's it! I had a couple of friends over for a barbecue for my boyfriend's birthday serving my grilled lobster tails, grilled steaks, and that simple watermelon feta salad with arugula and mint that was such a hit! Watermelon is the best addition to any summer salad because it is so light and refreshing. I have many other watermelon salads like this grilled peach and grilled peach watermelon burrata salad and the watermelon caprese salad.

This salad couldn't be easier. The watermelon is so juicy that the salad doesn't even need a dressing. I used a melon baller to cut the watermelon into small balls, but you can also cut them into small pieces. I love how the sweet and salty flavors complement each other. The freshness of the watermelon goes perfectly with the saltiness of the feta cheese, and the fresh mint rounds it off perfectly.

This healthy watermelon salad is packed with nutrients. Watermelon is mostly water that helps you moisturize and fill you up. This fruit is low in calories and full of vitamins C and A. Arugula is a good source of calcium, potassium, folic acid and vitamins C, K and A.

What to serve with watermelon salad

As I said, watermelon feta salad with mint and arugula is great for grilling in summer. It goes well with any grilled protein, like my grilled crab legs, steak kebabs with chimichurri, or grilled salmon with avocado bruschetta. Try zucchini carpaccio, caprese salad with white beans, or spiraled apple and cabbage coleslaw for other side dishes besides this watermelon salad.

Variations:

• Submint in this watermelon salad for basil or coriander.
• Add cucumber or red onion for extra vegetables.
• Swap the feta for goat cheese.
